Joe Richards

Joe Richards is an author, educator and economist. After the financial crash of 2008, Joe's family lost their business and the home they grew up in. Spotting a lack of public understanding in the economy, and the bamboozling jargon-filled news that was causing it, Joe's journey in economics began. After an education in London and successfully launching a charity, Joe developed ways to make economics more accessible for everyone, working with organisations from the Bank of England and BBC News, to local schools and the UK government. He is now with the Faculty of Education at the University of Cambridge, to continue his vital work in the classrooms of the UK as a teacher.
