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.
##語句還挺優美的,是我喜歡的那種
評分##終於聽完瞭!引用好多文獻,感覺作者寫論文的時候看完文獻做寫筆記就寫瞭這本書吼。大部分理論和實證都很新,不過稍微有些淩亂,麵麵俱到;目前看來就是為新自由主義辯護!;原來hard times指的就是現在!
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##語句還挺優美的,是我喜歡的那種
評分##national basic income這事,到底可不可以實行起來呢
評分##For me, there is 20% familiar content, 40% 有一點眼熟 content, 20% brand new content and 20% 走神瞭沒吸收content, pretty decent structure for this type of book-reading.
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
評分##national basic income這事,到底可不可以實行起來呢
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。
