Economist Wolfers Warns Public Trust in Economists Is Near Rock Bottom
Original: Economist Justin Wolfers Says Financial Education Is Failing And There's a Big Problem. People Barely Trust Economists More Than Politicians
Economist Justin Wolfers says financial education is failing, pointing to survey findings that people trust economists only marginally more than politicians. He argues the profession has a serious credibility problem, driven by poor public understanding of economics and a failure to communicate clearly with ordinary people about the economy.
Why now: Public scepticism toward economic experts is a live concern amid ongoing cost-of-living and inflation debates.
