“…Finally, a business economist must be able to communicate its findings clearly, particularly as our audiences are not economists most of the time. Stuart Mackintosh, in his presidential address in 2016 (Mackintosh 2017 ) made reference to economists being storytellers. He made the reference in the context that business economists “should be a repository of collective memories and stories.” I also like to refer us economists as storytellers, but with another connotation.…”

A Global Business Economist should look at the world as it is, not as it ought to be. We need to be mind-readers, anticipating questions to come and pre-emptively searching for answers. Global interactions are making economic analysis increasingly complex. We must incorporate these linkages into the analysis, enriching the models and the story with global flavour and supplementing both with on-the-field expert assessment. Our most valuable asset is our independence and credibility, so we must tell it just how it is. Finally, communication is key. It is paramount to make the story and our deliberations easy to understand, regardless of the complexity of the analysis.

“…Such change is associated with ‘less cyclic pattern’ of change – less predictable, polarising, competitive, and a harbinger of group conflict. Yet, it is important that in the era of post-truth, economic choice is also growingly changing complexion as choices are solely based on subjective preferences – a worrisome phenomenon for business economists and policymakers (Mackintosh, 2017).…”

Health Security, Vaccine Hesitancy and Post-Truth: A Case of COVID-19 in Pakistan

Many existing studies and researches have shown the link between vaccine hesitancy and rurality. To test the validity of this assertion, this paper uses COVID-19 vaccine as a reference case and tries to understand vaccine hesitancy in urban communities through the conceptual lens of post-truth. The argument enunciated in the paper is based on data gathered through an online survey, conducted from May to October 2021. Thematically, this paper identified two themes: ‘mistrust’ and ‘misinformation’, revealing the coupling effect of the themes and the intersection of vaccine hesitancy and post-truth in two urban (Islamabad and Rawalpindi) communities of Pakistan. While the discussions were contextual, this paper epistemically shows that the reality of COVID-19 was blurred by misinformation which translated into cynicism, mistrust and hesitancy for COVID-19 vaccine and the outcome proved why health security must be taken seriously, especially in the post-truth era.
