Identifying solutions for the pressing economic issues of our day may be the greatest task of our time. The whole concept of the good life as we know it is at jeopardy, which is much more significant than space travel or even the next big medical discovery.
From New Delhi and Dakar to Paris and Washington, DC, immigration and inequality, globalisation and technological disruption, slowing growth and increasing climate change—all of these are major causes of concern for people everywhere. We don't lack the tools to overcome the barriers of mistrust and disagreement that separate us from tackling these problems. If we are successful, history will look back on our time with fondness; if we are unsuccessful, the losses might be immeasurable.
Renowned MIT economists Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo take on this problem in this ground-breaking book, based on state-of-the-art economics research presented with clarity and elegance. Good Economics for Hard Times is a unique, thought-provoking, and important book that presents a strong argument for wise interventionism and a society based on respect and compassion. It also demonstrates how, when used correctly, economics can assist in resolving the most difficult social and political issues of the day. It is a remarkable accomplishment that sheds light on our fragile world's equilibrium and helps us appreciate and comprehend it.
