Most people find it hard to define 'the economy' beyond saying it is 'to do with money'. This book explores what 'the economy' means to people's lives in Brexit Britain and what goes through their minds when they hear politicians talking about it. Through ethnographic research with people from a range of backgrounds in a city on the South coast of England conducted between 2016 and 2018, it explores what they understand about key aspects of the economy, including employment, austerity, trade and the economic effects of migration. Within political science and media commentary people's Brexit identities are often portrayed as linked with the importance they attach to 'the economy'. But at a critical point in our history, this study suggests that understandings of what 'the economy' means may in themselves be changing. | Rigged by Anna Killick, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
