The author demonstrates clearly that academic economic research can contribute to the common good on many fronts, and that basic economic knowledge can be important for avoiding social calamity. He discusses market failures, climate change, labour markets, national debt, the financial crisis of 2008, innovation and industrial policy, intellectual property and economic efficiency in infrastructural industries, etc. The discussion is non-technical and for the most part accessible also to readers without economic training. It takes a good writer to distill important practical conclusions from economic theory without simplifying too much. The book also contains a couple of chapters on economics as a profession. The author stresses the societal role economists should take in educating the public. His own efforts in this vein are certainly impressive. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
From Nobel Prize-winning economist Jean Tirole, a bold new agenda for the role of economics in societyWhen Jean Tirole won the 2014 Nobel Prize in Economics, he suddenly found himself being stopped in the street by complete strangers and asked to comment on issues of the day, no matter how distant from his own areas of research. His transformation from academic economist to public intellectual prompted him to reflect further on the role economists and their discipline play in society. The result is Economics for the Common Good, a passionate manifesto for a world in which economics, far from being a "dismal science," is a positive force for the common good.Economists are rewarded for writing technical papers in scholarly journals, not joining in public debates. But Tirole says we urgently need economists to engage with the many challenges facing society, helping to identify our key objectives and the tools needed to meet them.To show how economics can help us realize the common good, Tirole shares his insights on a broad array of questions affecting our everyday lives and the future of our society, including global warming, unemployment, the post-2008 global financial order, the euro crisis, the digital revolution, innovation, and the proper balance between the free market and regulation.Providing a rich account of how economics can benefit everyone, Economics for the Common Good sets a new agenda for the role of economics in society.
