Description

In recent years politics has seen an increasing role in economic policymaking for a technocracy of experts.

How do politicians feel about this and how do they balance their political and ethical aims with economic expertise?

Anna Killick offers an in-depth study of how politicians engage with economists and economic opinion.

Based on interviews with politicians from the main parties in France, Germany, Denmark, the UK and USA, the book highlights the role economic opinion plays in politics and the tension that can arise between democracy and technocracy.

Deferring to the experts is shown to be neither viable nor desirable, and that we should trust politicians to take the lead role in solving economic problems.
