Penguin presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition from the Econocracy by Joe Earle, Cahal Moran and Zach Ward-Perkins, read by Jonathan Keeble.

A hundred years ago, the idea of ‘the economy’ didn’t exist. Now economics is the supreme ideology of our time, with its very own rules and language. The trouble is usually, most of us can’t speak it.

That is damaging democracy. Dangerous agendas are hidden inside mathematical wrappers; controversial insurance policies are shown as ‘proven’ by the models of financial ‘research’. Government is being turned to a publicly unaccountable technocratic elite.

The Econocracy reveals that economics is too vital that you be left to the economists – and shows us how we can begin to participate even more completely in the decisions which affect all our futures.
