La nostra democrazia è andata profondamente male. Gli economisti ci hanno deluso. I politici ci hanno mentito. Le cose devono cambiare. Questo nuovo libro coraggioso ci aiuterà a farlo accadere' Owen Jones 'Un appello esplosivo al cambiamento. Ricco di ricerche originali. Uno studio di caso per la domanda che dovremmo tutti porci dopo il crollo: come hanno fatto le élite - a Westminster, nella City, nell'economia - a rimanere al comando?' Aditya Chakrabortty, Guardian 'Assolutamente avvincente e serio' Ha-Joon ChangUn secolo fa, l'idea di 'economia' non esisteva. Ora l'economia è l'ideologia suprema del nostro tempo, con le sue regole e il suo linguaggio. Il problema è che la maggior parte di noi non sa parlarla. Questo sta danneggiando la democrazia. Programmi pericolosi sono nascosti dentro involucri matematici; politiche controverse sono presentate come 'dimostrate' dai modelli di 'scienza' economica. Il governo viene consegnato a un'élite tecnocratica pubblicamente irresponsabile. The Econocracy rivela che l'economia è troppo importante per essere lasciata agli economisti e ci mostra cosa possiamo fare al riguardo. "Un commovente campanello d'allarme da parte di un collettivo di studenti laureati dissidenti. Tecnicamente sicuro, ben argomentato e informativo" Robert Skidelsky "Se la guerra è troppo importante per essere lasciata ai generali, lo è anche l'economia per essere lasciata a economisti con una formazione ristretta. Stimolante" Martin Wolf "Un libro interessante e molto pertinente" Noam Chomsky.

A writer, organiser and researcher, Joe Earle is a trustee of Rethinking Economics and its sister organisation Economy (www.ecnmy.org). Cahal Moran is studying for a PhD in economics at the University of Manchester, researching applied behavioural economics. Zach Ward-Perkins is a former trustee of Rethinking Economics, and is still an active member of the movement to change economics. He is now a researcher at the University of Sheffield, working with the Local Authority on how to transform the provision of social care in the City.
They are founding members of the Post-Crash Economics Society at the University of Manchester.
A century ago, the idea of 'the economy' didn't exist. Now economics is the supreme ideology of our time, with its own rules and language. The trouble is, most of us can't speak it.
This is damaging democracy. Dangerous agendas are hidden inside mathematical wrappers; controversial policies are presented as 'proven' by the models of economic 'science'. Government is being turned over to a publicly unaccountable technocratic elite.
The Econocracy reveals that economics is too important to be left to the economists - and shows us what we can do about it.
