I think interest in socioeconomic theories is best stimulated with efficient communication of measures of potential relations. If you can get people to think about the long-term suffocating effects that strict regulatory and bureaucratic entities bring, then the ball has begun rolling towards directing interest onto the focus of certain socioeconomic theories.
Simple statements, such as "imagine the tools we could utilize were a lesser hand upon our resources" or "I remember around the 1980s when prices of A were B", can go far in constructing economical dialogue.
That being said, I have been looking around for a good series to diversify current economic studies. These are appealing.
