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.
##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##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##[有声书] 梳理了几大社会、经济问题:移民、贸易(China shock)、经济增长停滞、全球变暖和经济发展、自动化、政府对一些民生问题的政策(的不给力和原因),等等。比较震惊的是关于growth的研究大概结论是:经济学家们并不知道什么因素促使经济发展/发展停滞,所以能做的就是让国民健康、教育水平等等提高,这样等发展的机会一来,大家都能跟上。感觉全书的落脚点是经济研究是好的,但最后落实都太差了,然后被一些政客钻空子。听起来觉得法国像是天堂一般 >_<
