Punk Economics

PUNK ECONOMICS

Economics is only the business of people’s everyday lives and I strive to demystify economics and make it jargon-free and accessible.
When David was still in primary school, punk rock emerged – it seemed – out of nowhere and re-invented music. Before, music to David was an overblown, self-indulgent, long-winded prog-rock concept album about prisms and rainbows. Punk blew that world apart and changed the way we listened to music, the way it looked, sounded – and what it meant.

Economics and economic analysis has become similarly overblown and self-indulgent. Worse still, many (not all) economists have failed to make it simple, easy and comprehensible for the vast majority of people, something economics must be, if it’s to be of any use to us. Punk Economics tries to do with economics what punk rock did with music – change the way it looks, feels and sounds using animation. Cartoons help us break things down. David works with a brilliant team in producing these videos. The brilliant artist Mark Flood, sound producer John Davis, film producer Adrian Brett and  producer Aoife O’Brien.
