What’s on

Just landed…get your copy of ‘What is the economy’
Why are houses so expensive? Is our banking system going to collapse again? Should we be worried that robots are going to take all our jobs? And just what exactly is the economy anyway?
Economists and politicians would have you believe it is a rarified topic best left to ‘the experts’.
The experts are wrong.
In ‘What’s the economy’ our editor Beth Leslie and our co-founder Joe Richards build on 5 years of research and learning at Economy. They uncover what people really mean when they talk about ‘the economy’, taking the word off its pedestal and showing that it’s just a lens for seeing the world around us. That, at its heart, economics is about you, and the society you’re part of.
Our workshops help improve understanding around economics, empowering people to engage in decisions that affect their lives.
We’re looking for people to share stories about their lived experiences of the economy.
