Description

Economics for the Common Good by Jean Tirole is a passionate manifesto that challenges traditional views of economics as a dismal science. In this book, Tirole argues that economists have a crucial role to play in shaping society's objectives and finding solutions to pressing issues.

Tirole shares his insights on topics such as global warming, unemployment, the post-2008 global financial order, the euro crisis, the digital revolution, innovation, and the balance between free markets and regulation. He provides a rich account of how economics can benefit everyone and sets a new agenda for the role of economics in society.

By engaging with these challenges, Tirole aims to show that economics is not just a technical discipline, but a positive force for the common good. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the intersection of economics and society.
