The Econocracy

"The Econocracy" explores the rise of economics as a dominant ideology and its influence on democracy, highlighting how economic language and models shape policies and governance. The authors argue that economics has become a powerful, yet often inaccessible, tool that can obscure controversial agendas and concentrate decision-making among unaccountable technocrats. Offering insights into how ordinary people can engage more actively with economic decisions, the book emphasizes the importance of democratizing economic knowledge.
