Narrative
The 2008 global financial crash demonstrated that public and professional understanding of finance was inadequate. The “Show Me the Money” research projects showcased the importance of art, literature and popular culture in providing a fuller account of economics and finance. Through partnerships with galleries, artists, libraries, financial education charities, economic think tanks and financial industry bodies, the research team created a number of events and educational courses that had significant reach with both the public and the financial services industry throughout the UK, and beyond. These activities have stimulated debate and improved understanding among diverse audiences about the role of finance in society, especially in the wake of the 2008 crash.| Impact date | 2014 → 2020 |
