As writer
[edit]In 2012, Shenker wrote Don't Buy It: The Trouble with Talking Nonsense about the Economy, which discussed topics from international arms control to immigration.[4][6] Her book argues for progressive messaging on the economy and economics and advises on messaging around inequality and wages, helping progressives to use metaphors and other devices to maximum effect.[7] She looked at the language of the first question on minds of people, which was namely the economy. "The genius...of conservatives", she states, "is in not just trumpeting their version of events. They also embed the key ideas that (1) government activity is the problem and (2) economic fluctuations of this magnitude are normal and expected."[8]
