Innocence and Design: The Influence of Economic Ideas on Policy
Telling stories is clearly not the only or the finest way of teaching. What is argued here is that the community, whether it likes it or not, finds itself subject to many stories which probably influence its perceptions. It may be possible to join in the storytelling with the particular goal of better informing the community in mind and various suggestions have been made in relation to this. Although the stories are about a particular sector of the economy—the black taxi industry-they contain lessons which are relevant to other sectors and the economy as a whole. The stories are not aimed at capacity building within the particular industry but at capacity building of the community as a whole at grass roots levels. The benefits would be that a particular community that has been well informed about economic issues through the medium of stories should be better empowered to participate in planning as a consequence of being able to make its own judgements. Whether this would warrant an orchestrated campaign is one of the matters left for others to consider. The issue of whether or not the aim of having a well-informed community is too idealistic also remains unresolved. If it is, then the hoped for goal of planning with people instead of for them is probably also too idealistic.
