An economic truth

""One of the many challenges facing the economy is to properly ascertain its purpose and answer the question; whom does it serve?

There is a renewed discourse centred on the concept of fairer economics. A desire to understand how we further the benefits of economic development and specifically address issues such as sustainability and fair work. With the clamour to return to """"normal"""" following COVID, there is a need to ask the question of how we could create something better.

This collection of poems seeks to explore the purpose of the economy in Scotland and beyond. Exploring critical debate regarding current forms of growth and shining a light on new approaches, these poems reflect the author's own desire to ensure the benefits of economic development are shared across society as a whole. Each poem helps articulate a desire to open a dialogue on where we can pursue change. They capture both the challenges and contributions facing decision-makers while employing a wide range of poetic forms.""
