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.
##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##因為要給本科生開發展經濟學的課,選定poor economics做教材後又讀瞭這本新書,覺得比poor economics要好很多,把當下的很多熱點問題:移民、國際貿易、AI、種族問題,都用很流暢的文字將各種觀點和文獻一一道來,有專業度又很容易讀。推薦。

評分##語句還挺優美的,是我喜歡的那種
評分引進的時候恐怕要刪掉幾句說great leap forward 的
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##正是這個時間最該讀的書
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.
