Nobel Prize in Economics 2019! Two award-winning economists on the failures and responsibilities of economists. Inequality, poverty, migration, free trade, economic growth and environmental issues are the problems that dominate the headlines worldwide on a daily basis. On these, knowledge and advice from economists would be urgently needed. In this book, economists Esther Duflo and Abhijit Banerjee, known for their groundbreaking work on poverty research, provocatively hold up a mirror to their colleagues: They slept through catastrophic crises like the Lehman bankruptcy, ideological reservations often obscure their view, and on contentious issues like the euro they have shied away from speaking uncomfortable truths. Duflo and Banerjee vividly show what good economics can contribute to solving the world's urgent problems instead.
