What's more, don't let anyone make the extraordinary presumption that, whether 18 or 81, your tabula is rasa, your economic slate blank.

And each of us plays multiple roles in the economy throughout our lives, whether as citizen, worker, consumer, entrepreneur, saver or commoner. So don't let anyone try to wipe your slate clear: draw on its rich bank of experience as a personal reference point for sense-checking the economic theories that are put before you...we can give ourselves a far better chance of writing a new economic story - the one that we so desperately need for a safe and just twenty-first century.
