Join us for this talk on the importance of communicating economics to the general public, the consequences of a poor understanding of economics and ways in which economists and policymakers can do better.

About the speaker:

Rupal Patel is Senior Private Secretary to the Deputy Governor for Markets, Banking and Resolution at the Bank of England, helping to prevent economic crises.

Her book “Can’t we just print more money” is a Sunday Times Bestseller and has made understanding the UK Economy more accessible for readers from school children to pensioners.

The book has also been made into a GCSE teaching resource and proceeds from the book go towards the Bank of England’s educational programme in schools.

Rupal has been a guest on BBC Breakfast, Women’s Hour and the BBC’s Understand: The Economy podcast.

The event is open to staff and students at all levels interested in the topic.

This is the second lecture in the Sir Professor David Greenaway Lecture Series.
