具体描述
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.

##A must-read book which is quite special and meaningful even more so in this world full of chaos and quarrels. Though some parts related to social welfare need further experiments to substantiate, it does share lots of insightful thoughts.
评分引进的时候恐怕要删掉几句说great leap forward 的
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
评分##终于听完了！引用好多文献，感觉作者写论文的时候看完文献做写笔记就写了这本书吼。大部分理论和实证都很新，不过稍微有些凌乱，面面俱到；目前看来就是为新自由主义辩护！；原来hard times指的就是现在！
评分##“The only recourse we have against bad ideas is to be vigilant, resist the seduction of the ‘obvious’, be skeptical of promises miracles, question the evidence, be patient with complexity and honest about what we know and what we can know”.
评分##endless stories and nothing new
评分##A must-read book which is quite special and meaningful even more so in this world full of chaos and quarrels. Though some parts related to social welfare need further experiments to substantiate, it does share lots of insightful thoughts.
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##For me, there is 20% familiar content, 40% 有一点眼熟 content, 20% brand new content and 20% 走神了没吸收content, pretty decent structure for this type of book-reading.
