Two prize-winning economists show how economics, when done right, can help us solve the thorniest social and political problems of our day.
Figuring out how to deal with today's critical economic problems is perhaps the great challenge of our time. Much greater than space travel or perhaps even the next revolutionary medical breakthrough, what is at stake is the whole idea of the good life as we have known it.
Immigration and inequality, globalization and technological disruption, slowing growth and accelerating climate change--these are sources of great anxiety across the world, from New Delhi and Dakar to Paris and Washington, DC. The resources to address these challenges are there--what we lack are ideas that will help us jump the wall of disagreement and distrust that divides us. If we succeed, history will remember our era with gratitude; if we fail, the potential losses are incalculable.
In this revolutionary book, renowned MIT economists Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo take on this challenge, building on cutting-edge research in economics explained with lucidity and grace. Original, provocative, and urgent, Good Economics for Hard Times makes a persuasive case for an intelligent interventionism and a society built on compassion and respect. It is an extraordinary achievement, one that shines a light to help us appreciate and understand our precariously balanced world.

评分##national basic income这事,到底可不可以实行起来呢
评分##每章一个议题。移民和国际贸易非常非常棒,后面就开始水。GDP那一章,讲了几十页最后落在,诶不得而知呢。OK fine
评分##两位非常喜欢的经济学家的作品!详细分析了近年来的几个国际社会热点问题,包括移民、国际贸易、经济增长、环境保护、失业、转移支付,每个问题下都写了很多经济学界的经典研究和前沿尝试,很强调policy implication。在对专业学识信仰信任缺失以及学科体系高度发达的时候,经济学研究容易剑走偏锋,作者用这本书完成了多个层面的“科普”。虽然目标群体多是非经济学研究者,但读来仍受益匪浅。

评分##主要讲了经济学粘性导致的完全市场假说很多方面无法实现。由此衍生开的很多问题,以及对移民、贫困问题的一般性想法做出了评注。最后一部分主要讲了社会政策的重要性。最近能感觉出新自由主义在逐渐退潮
