Description

In this timely book, prize-winning economists Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo show how economics, when done right, can help solve the major social and political problems of our day. From immigration and inequality to slowing growth and climate change, we have the resources to address these challenges, but ideology can blind us. Original, provocative, and urgent, Good Economics for Hard Times presents new thinking and evidence-based solutions to alleviate extreme poverty and promote compassionate, evidence-based policy. It offers an antidote to polarized discourse and aims to help readers understand our precariously balanced world.
