""One of the many challenges facing the economy is to properly ascertain its purpose and answer the question; whom does it serve?There is a renewed discourse centred on the concept of fairer economics. A desire to understand how we further the benefits of economic development and specifically address issues such as sustainability and fair work. With the clamour to return to """"normal"""" following COVID, there is a need to ask the question of how we could create something better. This collection of poems seeks to explore the purpose of the economy in Scotland and beyond. Exploring critical debate regarding current forms of growth and shining a light on new approaches, these poems reflect the author's own desire to ensure the benefits of economic development are shared across society as a whole. Each poem helps articulate a desire to open a dialogue on where we can pursue change. They capture both the challenges and contributions facing decision-makers while employing a wide range of poetic forms.""

The relationship between history and psychoanalysis has long been contentious, starting with Freud's ambivalence toward history, with some declaring the two fields to be largely incommensurable. The contributors to this special issue rethink this complicated dynamic, demonstrating both the uses of psychoanalysis for interrogating historical narratives and the importance of history for psychoanalytic analysis. Essays address how psychoanalysis reframes the ways historians have represented the Holocaust and the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, investigate neoliberal group psychology by studying the emergence of QAnon, trace the political trajectories of psychoanalysis in the mid-twentieth century, and find previously unexplored links between Freud and the US plantation economy. Together, the essays testify to the importance of considering the unconscious dimensions of thought when attempting to understand the workings of politics and representations of the past.
