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.
##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.
評分引進的時候恐怕要刪掉幾句說great leap forward 的
評分##national basic income這事,到底可不可以實行起來呢
評分##[有聲書] 梳理瞭幾大社會、經濟問題:移民、貿易(China shock)、經濟增長停滯、全球變暖和經濟發展、自動化、政府對一些民生問題的政策(的不給力和原因),等等。比較震驚的是關於growth的研究大概結論是:經濟學傢們並不知道什麼因素促使經濟發展/發展停滯,所以能做的就是讓國民健康、教育水平等等提高,這樣等發展的機會一來,大傢都能跟上。感覺全書的落腳點是經濟研究是好的,但最後落實都太差瞭,然後被一些政客鑽空子。聽起來覺得法國像是天堂一般 >_<
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##語句還挺優美的,是我喜歡的那種
評分##主要講瞭經濟學粘性導緻的完全市場假說很多方麵無法實現。由此衍生開的很多問題,以及對移民、貧睏問題的一般性想法做齣瞭評注。最後一部分主要講瞭社會政策的重要性。最近能感覺齣新自由主義在逐漸退潮
評分引進的時候恐怕要刪掉幾句說great leap forward 的
評分##當之無愧的if u read one policy book this year 甚至在我心中可能是 if u read one book this year
