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.

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##因为要给本科生开发展经济学的课，选定poor economics做教材后又读了这本新书，觉得比poor economics要好很多，把当下的很多热点问题：移民、国际贸易、AI、种族问题，都用很流畅的文字将各种观点和文献一一道来，有专业度又很容易读。推荐。
评分##national basic income这事，到底可不可以实行起来呢
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##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.
