Goldsmith Press’s PERC series seeks to refresh political economy, in the original sense of the term, as a pluralist and critical approach to the study of capitalism. In doing so it challenges the sense of economics as a discipline, separate from the other social sciences, aiming instead to combine economic knowledge with various other disciplinary approaches.
The cover design uses simple shapes motifs to express the changing opinions of a population in response to the emotional pull of party leaders.

Body Music looks at visceral engagement of the body in musical performance, and thinks about how technological mediation can foster, or might break, forms of audience empathy.
The artist uses muscle sensors that respond to movement in the body to create his sonic pieces. The cover draws on the muscle layers, the movement of blood and the heightened emotion one experiences when playing or listening to music.
