How to be a Successful Economist This title, released in late 2022, is a guide for students working towards successful careers in economics. The authors, Vicky Pryce, Andy Ross, Alvin Birdi and Ian Harwood, walk readers through the interview process for graduate positions and the attributes that employers are looking for. Video interviews are also available with the purchase of the book. Dr Matthew Aldrich, Associate Professor in Economics at the University of East Anglia, described the book as "original" and said "there is no comparable text I know of and the pragmatic issues are covered extremely well". Jarkko Immonen, a careers counsellor at the University of Helsinki, called it a "comprehensive hands-on look at the world of work from an economist's point of view with an emphasis on opportunities and societal relevance". The book was published by Oxford University Press.
Women Vs Capitalism Subtitled "why we can't have it all in a free market economy", Women Vs Capitalism is an urgent call to reform capitalism so that it "stops failing women".
Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves wrote in
The Observer that the 2019 book was "fantastic" and "shines a much-needed light on discrimination". In
The Guardian,
Polly Toynbee said it was a "long overdue dissection of the vital subject of gender equality through Vicky Pryce's forensic economic lens". It was published by
Biteback Publishing and was written with Andy Ross and Peter Urwin.
Redesigning Manufacturing Co-authored with Michael Beverland and Beverley Nielsen, this 2015 book suggests that UK manufacturing has an "image problem". It redresses the situation, which it suggests is more fiction than fact, by focusing on the real successes of the sector and the strategies used by makers to achieve sustainable results.
Prisonomics Pryce published a book based on her experience at
HM Prison East Sutton Park in October 2013. The book, ''Prisonomics: Behind Bars in Britain's Failing Prisons'', makes claims about the economic and human costs of imprisoning women, with especial reference to herself. Previous convicts have done the same thing, notably
Horatio Bottomley.
Royalties were donated to the charity Working Chance to help former women prisoners find work.
Greekonomics In October 2012,
Biteback Publishing released
Greekonomics, a discussion of the crises in the
eurozone, with the focus on the country of her birth. Intended for a broad, not merely an academic, readership, the book discusses what Greek exit from the eurozone might mean. It was shortlisted for Spear's best business book of the year award in 2013. In early July 2013 Vicky Pryce appeared as an expert witness before the
House of Lords cross-party subcommittee on economic and financial affairs, saying she saw no quick end to the
eurozone crisis since structural reform would take a long time. Pryce favoured
fiscal policy that included a stimulus package and wanted the
European Central Bank to buy bonds. ==Conviction ==
