Description
Economics for the Common Good by Jean Tirole is a passionate manifesto that challenges traditional views of economics as a dismal science. A Nobel Prize-winning economist, Tirole argues that economists should engage with society's pressing issues to identify key objectives and tools needed to address them. Tirole shares his insights on topics such as global warming, unemployment, the post-2008 global financial order, and the digital revolution, providing a rich account of how economics can benefit everyone. By exploring these questions and others, Tirole sets a new agenda for the role of economics in society, highlighting its potential to be a positive force for the common good. This book offers a fresh perspective on the discipline of economics, encouraging readers to think critically about its relevance and application in everyday life.
