Between Life and Economics is a series of six lectures given by Tom Fitzgerald, a distinguished economist and journalist, for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in 1990. The lectures examine the relationship between economics and human values, questioning the assumptions and implications of economic theory and policy. Fitzgerald argues that economics should not be seen as a science of rational choice, but as a moral and political discourse that affects the lives and well-being of people. He calls for a more humane and ethical approach to economics that respects the diversity and dignity of human beings.
