What role does economics play in society? Does it serve the common good? 08:17 - 4. Economics provides answers to problems related to markets, efficiency, profits, consumption and economic growth. Does economics do a good job in addressing the other issues people care about: climate change and the wider environment, the role of technology in society, issues of race and class, pandemics, etc.? 10:59 - 5. As we live in an age of economics and economists – in which economic developments feature prominently in our lives and economists have major influence over a wide range of policy and people – should economists be held accountable for their advice? 12:44 - 6. Does economics explain Capitalism? How would you define Capitalism? 18:13 - 7.
