Innocence and Design
Six talks about the influence of economic ideas on policy by David Henderson , Head of the Economics and Statistics
Department in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
2: Soap Opera in High Places
'Soap opera: the disposition to ascribe to particular elements within an economic system - industries, sectors, products, processes or activities - intrinsic qualities which (it is thought) should influence the way in which governments treat them. I use the term because I believe this approach to economic issues resembles soap opera in its crude assumptions and in its failure to reflect the depth and complexity of real life.'
