Description:

This volume rethinks the classic question of what, how and for whom economics is produced. Drawing from a range of perspectives, it casts fresh light on the relationship between the producers and consumers of economic knowledge.

Synopsis:

A provocatively rethink of the questions of what, how and for whom economics is produced. Academic economists in the twentieth century have presumed to monopolise economic knowledge, seeing themselves as the only legitimate producers and consumers of this highly specialized commodity. This has encouraged a narrow view of economics as little more than a private dialogue among professionally licensed knowers. This book recasts this narrow view.
