Economics: n, social science concerned with the production and consumption of goods and services. What is the best way to run a country? How long should a person be obliged to work every day? What will the economy look like after Brexit? In this new take on the Scottish economy, experts Trebeck, Boyd and Kerevan address how our economy can serve us, as opposed to the people serving the economy. They believe that current economic policies are not aligned with what we as people need in these times of rampant inequality and inequitable distribution, advocating an increased focus on the quality of Scotland's economy. Using Scotland as an example for the economic workings of any country, Tackling Timorous Economics shows a better way of how economics could work for us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem data-sleek-node-id=\"5v9LdQ\"\u003e…of interest well beyond Scotland’s borders … it will challenge you to reflect on your own views on big issues like inequality and economic policy. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong data-sleek-node-id=\"PR8bxW\"\u003eW DAVID McCAUSLAND, The Conversation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\u003c!-- Why You'll Love This Ebook --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love This Ebook\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthentic Scottish voices\u003c\/strong\u003e and captivating narratives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRich cultural heritage\u003c\/strong\u003e woven throughout every page.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublished by Luath Press\u003c\/strong\u003e, Scotlands leading independent publisher.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstantly accessible\u003c\/strong\u003e through The Grey Hill App.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\u003c!-- About the Author --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-sleek-node-id=\"KXvHyO\"\u003eSTEPHEN BOYD was chief of economic and industrial policy for The Scottish Trades Union Congress for years, before obtaining a post in the newly formed Scottish Government Economic Strategy Unit in 2017.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row sqs-row\" id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1719329396999_69502\" data-sleek-node-id=\"ousXgF\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col sqs-col-6 span-6\" data-sleek-node-id=\"unfwhf\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" id=\"block-941939552b3065aff1f2\" data-sleek-node-id=\"2QxNck\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\" data-sleek-node-id=\"UYEZVX\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\" data-sleek-node-id=\"EDi5pt\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-sleek-node-id=\"e50YCj\"\u003eBoyd is a regular media commentator, with a seat on a number of Government task groups.
