Overview

El nuevo libro de los premios Nobel de Economía Banerjee y Duflo, autores de Repensar la pobreza.

«No todos los economistas llevan corbata y piensan como banqueros. De lectura obligada.»-Thomas Piketty

Descubrir cómo lidiar con los problemas económicos críticos de hoy es quizás el gran desafío de nuestro tiempo. Mucho más grande que el viaje espacial o tal vez incluso el próximo avance médico revolucionario, lo que está en juego es la idea de la buena vida tal como la conocemos.

En este libro refrescante e ideal para el momento que vivimos, los premios Nobel Duflo y Banerjee descubren al lector hasta qué punto la economía, cuando se ejerce bien, puede resolver nuestros problemas sociales y políticos más acuciantes. Tenemos los recursos para afrontar todos los retos, de la inmigración a la desigualdad o a la emergencia climática, pero la ideología nos ciega con demasiada frecuencia.

¿Por qué las migraciones no siguen las leyes de la oferta y la demanda? ¿Por qué la liberalización del comercio puede aumentar el desempleo y bajar los salarios? ¿Por qué nadie ha logrado explicar de manera convincente las condiciones necesarias para el crecimiento?

Las experiencias de las últimas décadas no han ofrecido una imagen amable de los economistas: dormidos al volante (con el pie en el acelerador) en el periodo previo a la gran recesión, discutiendo después sobre cómo salir de ella, o haciendo oídos sordos a las voces de alarma sobre la difícil situación de Grecia o la zona euro, parecen haber perdido la capacidad de orientarnos. Sin embargo, Duflo y Banerjee defienden el papel de los economistas, así como el intervencionismo inteligente y la búsqueda de una sociedad basada en la empatía y el respeto. Este libro es un verdadero antídoto contra el discurso polarizado.

ENGLISH 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.
