THROUGH THE WINNERS OF THE 2019 NOBEL Award IN ECONOMICS

‘Wonderfully refreshing . A must examine’ Thomas Piketty

With this revolutionary publication, prize-winning economists Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo display how economics, when done right, might help us resolve the thorniest social and political complications of our day time. From immigration to inequality, slowing growth to accelerating environment change, we’ve the resources to address the challenges we encounter but we are so often blinded by ideology.

Primary, provocative and urgent, Good Economics for CRISIS offers the new

thinking that we need. It builds on cutting-edge study in economics – and years of exploring the very best solutions to relieve severe poverty – to make a persuasive case for a smart interventionism and a culture constructed on compassion and respect. A much-needed antidote to polarized discourse, this book shines a light to greatly help us appreciate and understand our precariously balanced world.
