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.

##很学术的一本书
评分##For me, there is 20% familiar content, 40% 有一点眼熟 content, 20% brand new content and 20% 走神了没吸收content, pretty decent structure for this type of book-reading.
评分##两位非常喜欢的经济学家的作品！详细分析了近年来的几个国际社会热点问题，包括移民、国际贸易、经济增长、环境保护、失业、转移支付，每个问题下都写了很多经济学界的经典研究和前沿尝试，很强调policy implication。在对专业学识信仰信任缺失以及学科体系高度发达的时候，经济学研究容易剑走偏锋，作者用这本书完成了多个层面的“科普”。虽然目标群体多是非经济学研究者，但读来仍受益匪浅。

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 >_<
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##正是这个时间最该读的书
