Reihe: Political Ethnography

Most people find it hard to define 'the economy' beyond saying it is 'to do with money'. Through ethnographic research in a city on the South coast of England, this book explores what 'the economy' means to people's lives and what goes through their minds when they hear politicians talking about it.
