Graphs and Glitter was set up to make the latest economic research available and to combat economic misinformation.
We put traditionally "feminine" symbols, like glitter, front and centre, because we're tired of seeing the "fun and feminine" as a hindrance to the serious and scientific.
We believe that economics is for everyone.
