Good Economics for Hard Times
Better Answers to Our Biggest Problems
What the evidence really says about our hardest economic problems.
Good Economics for Hard Times applies rigorous research to today's most contentious issues, including immigration, trade, inequality, automation, and growth. Banerjee and Duflo show where conventional wisdom and gut intuition mislead us, and what the data actually supports. The book makes a case for humble, evidence-grounded thinking in a polarized world.
Founders operate amid loud opinions about technology, labor, and markets, and this book trains you to separate confident narratives from what evidence supports. It is a strong antidote to following hype, and a reminder that good decisions come from interrogating data, not echoing consensus.
