Book review: Rigged:understanding ‘the economy’ in Brexit Britain by Anna Killick

In Rigged: Understanding ‘The Economy’ in Brexit Britain, Anna Killick offers a new ethnographic study conducted in the aftermath of the Brexit referendum that explores what people from a range of backgrounds mean when they talk about ‘the economy’, with respondents discussing their employment, beliefs about debt, trade and migration and their perceptions of the economy overall. This book is highly recommended to anyone interested in developing a deeper understanding of the economy’s conceptual underpinnings and the tensions that Brexit has brought to the surface, writes Jack Mosse.
