"Economics is about organising markets in ways that contribute to social
welfare, which means anyone interested in anything from inequality to housing
affordability, to health and education systems, or climate change to gender
gaps ought to be interested in it.
But economists are far from the most trusted professionals. We are apparently
among the least-trusted in the US and midway down the ranking in the United
Kingdom.
In Australia, such surveys on our most trusted professions don’t include
economists, which itself is noteworthy.
Nevertheless, it’s worth reflecting on why Australians may distrust economists,
and the ways in which economics can better serve Australia."
