For the last century economics has reigned supreme in government and public life.
But blind spots, ethical vacuums and excessive hubris have led economics and economists to make awful mistakes. This lecture, presented by Professor Barbara Pocock, will consider the price of the preoccupations and misapplications of economics in the 21st Century and its contribution to some of our more important problems.
In the context of the global financial crisis in particular, economic theory has a lot of explaining to do. This lecture will consider the implications of some of this for how we live, work and care for each other, and how we create sustainable lives.
