‘Wonderfully refreshing . A must browse’ Thomas Piketty

Within this revolutionary book, prize-winning economists Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo present how economics, when done right, might help us solve the thorniest cultural and political problems of our day. From immigration to inequality, slowing growth to accelerating weather change, we’ve the resources to handle the difficulties we face but we are so often blinded by ideology.

Initial, provocative and immediate, Good Economics for Hard Times offers the new

thinking that we need. It builds on cutting-edge research in economics – and years of exploring the very best solutions to relieve severe poverty – to make a persuasive case for a smart interventionism and a culture built on compassion and respect. A much-needed antidote to polarized discourse, this book shines a light to greatly help us appreciate and understand our precariously well balanced world.
