Populism and Economists

Dr Anna Killick completed her postdoc at University College London. She works on the relationship between economists, the economy, and politicians and overt the pandemic researched and wrote the book Politicians and Economic Experts: the Limits of Technocracy. As I have previously written about economic expertise gone wrong, I thought this would be an excellent chat and I was right! We explored her extensive research into how politicians view economists across the UK, US, France, Denmark and Germany, and reviewed both her work and mine in light of the current moment.
