Histoire
Abhijit Banerjee and Esther Duflo have pioneered the use of randomized control trials in development economics. Work based on these principles, supervised by the Poverty Action Lab, is being carried out in dozens of countries. Drawing on this and their 15 years of research from Chile to India, Kenya to Indonesia, they have identified wholly new aspects of the behavior of poor people, their needs, and the way that aid or financial investment can affect their lives. Their work defies certain presumptions: that microfinance is a cure-all, that schooling equals learning....

Histoire
In Why We’re Polarized, Klein reveals the structural and psychological forces behind America’s descent into division and dysfunction. Neither a polemic nor a lament, this book offers a clear framework for understanding everything from Trump’s rise to the Democratic Party’s leftward shift to the politicization of everyday culture. America is polarized, first and foremost, by identity. Everyone engaged in American politics is engaged, at some level, in identity politics.

Histoire
Economics is the mother tongue of public policy. It dominates our decision-making for the future, guides multi-billion-dollar investments, and shapes our responses to climate change, inequality, and other environmental and social challenges that define our times. Pity then, or more like disaster, that its fundamental ideas are centuries out of date yet are still taught in college courses worldwide and still used to address critical issues in government and business alike. That's why it is time, says renegade economist Kate Raworth, to revise our economic thinking for the 21st century. In Doughnut Economics, she sets out seven key ways to fundamentally reframe our understanding of what economics is and does. Along the way, she points out how we can break our addiction to growth; redesign money, finance, and business to be in service to people; and create economies that are regenerative and distributive by design.

Description
The winners of the Nobel Prize 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.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"In Good Economics for Hard Times, Banerjee and Duflo, two of the world's great economists, parse through what economists have to say about today's most difficult challenges-immigration, job losses from automation and trade, inequality, tribalism and prejudice, and climate change. The writing is witty and irreverent, always informative but never dull. Banerjee and Duflo are the teachers you always wished for but never had, and this book is an essential guide for the great policy debates of our times." (Raghuram Rajan, Katherine Dusak Miller Distinguished Service Professor of Finance at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business)
"Banerjee and Duflo have shown brilliantly how the best recent research in economics can be used to tackle the most pressing social issues: unequal economic growth, climate change, lack of trust in public action. Their book is an essential wake-up call for intelligent and immediate action!" (Emmanuel Saez, professor of economics at UC Berkeley)
"Banerjee and Duflo move beyond the simplistic forecasts that abound in the Twittersphere and in the process reframe the role of economics. Their dogged optimism about the potential of economics research to deliver makes for an informative and uplifting read." (Pinelopi Goldberg, Elihu Professor of Economics, Yale University, and chief economist of the World Bank Group)

Good counterweight to Basic Economics
This book was helpful as a layperson to get a better understanding of left-wing thought on the topic.
My only criticism is that these authors do apply principles a bit inconsistently in favour of what I can clearly read as their political orientation. They're fast to point out correlation is not causation with respect to tax cuts for the wealthy and economic growth (even while admitting there is growth, and that they don't know what is really creating it), yet when this same lack of causal connection exists for left-leaning theories, they seem to embrace the correlation as evidence and a reason to push forward.
In large part that's human nature, and for me it was actually a bit helpful in using this book as a counterweight to the more individualistic economic thinkers like Sowell.
Maybe my best praise is that I filled an A4 page of small-print, concise "interesting notes" on this book, which (for the book's size) is higher than my average, and I mainly only read real classics so that says something.

Thank you for writing this. I would appreciate if you had included more countries other than just focusing a lot on the USA and India. Overall, a great book.

Stay away from soccer pls
A good overall book. He totally misses and is misinformed about Soccer and he goes even further telling why Ronaldo went to Juve for taxes, which is by far incorrect! He went there bcs of new challenge and that was nothing for him in Real anymore, and if that's not enough he again explains how Arsenal spends to much in New player's lol. but economy wise it's worth listening. narrator is a 5 🌟

Amazing
Can’t recommend this book enough.
In addition to the amazing insights, the authors acknowledge what economists do not know. We need more people like them rather than arrogant people who pretend to know everything

Misrepresents some facts oblivious of others
The author uses statistics when supporting his/her belief and take refuge from it when it does not.
The author discusses his/her confusion about why people don’t think economists considered trustworthy and then misses the mark completely while contemplating it. It is because economics is a political tool and more and more so the Liberal Arts are dominated by ... well... Liberals.
The author is confused as to why people want lower taxes. Is it because people think the rich will stop working if we have higher taxes ? No, obviously not. It’s because people want to keep their money.
I was compelled by the author’s discussion on stickiness of labour and it gave me pause when thinking of my own home region. The author makes a compelling case AGAINST trade, but without discussing the benefits of exports and then abandons his/her reasoning to going back to defend international trade.
Not bad. Not Great.

Great research
A lot of the reviews say they have a left wing bias and I strongly disagree. They repeatedly defend working class people, present both sides of issues of free trade, UBI, socialism, etc. These are not political hacks but distinguished researchers.
