3 quotes from Good Economics for Hard Times

  • "The world is full of bad solutions to our most pressing problems, and so we need to be careful about how we look for answers."

Author : Abhijit V. Banerjee, Esther Duflo

The authors of this book, Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo, are a husband-and-wife team; they are both professors at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) School of Economics. Along with their colleague Michael Kremer, they were jointly awarded the 2019 Nobel Prize in Economics “for their experimental approach to alleviating global poverty.” Unlike most economists, they rely on speaking with local residents and personal experience in order to understand the economic problems of developing countries and impoverished regions. This has given them unique and incisive insights into the global economy.
