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.
##national basic income這事,到底可不可以實行起來呢
評分##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.

評分##兩位非常喜歡的經濟學傢的作品!詳細分析瞭近年來的幾個國際社會熱點問題,包括移民、國際貿易、經濟增長、環境保護、失業、轉移支付,每個問題下都寫瞭很多經濟學界的經典研究和前沿嘗試,很強調policy implication。在對專業學識信仰信任缺失以及學科體係高度發達的時候,經濟學研究容易劍走偏鋒,作者用這本書完成瞭多個層麵的“科普”。雖然目標群體多是非經濟學研究者,但讀來仍受益匪淺。
評分##“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”.
評分##Insightful discussions but suggestions appear to be quite disorganized and unclear at times
評分##比窮人經濟學寫得好多瞭,更加political,也說明瞭經濟學傢這些年來政治立場的變化
評分##每章一個議題。移民和國際貿易非常非常棒,後麵就開始水。GDP那一章,講瞭幾十頁最後落在,誒不得而知呢。OK fine
