Good Economics for Hard Times - by Abhijit V Banerjee & Esther Duflo

"Good Economics for Hard Times: How to Build a Better World is a groundbreaking book by renowned MIT economists Abhijit V.

Banerjee and Esther Duflo.

This revolutionary book takes on the challenge of addressing the critical economic problems of our day, including immigration, inequality, globalization, technological disruption, slowing growth, and accelerating climate change.

The resources to address these challenges are available, but what we lack is ideas that will help us jump the wall of disagreement and distrust that divides us. With lucidity and grace, Banerjee and Duflo provide a precise but accessible book that covers many essential issues of our day, including migration, unemployment, growth, free trade, political polarization, and welfare.

They offer readers an economist's view of the great issues of the day, marshaling evidence assembled over decades from all sorts of areas-the fight against malaria, past efforts at tax reform, previous waves of migration-and propose commonsense solutions. This book is an extraordinary achievement, one that shines a light on the precariously balanced world we live in and offers important policy connections and suggestions.

It is a must-read for policymakers and lay readers alike, providing fresh insights into contemporary economic matters and offering a powerful vision of how we can grapple with them.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to understand the complexities of our times and find solutions to the challenges facing us today."
