Product Information

La identidad tribal, que contiene una alusión tácita o explícita a la etnia, el lugar o el origen, es una forma muy distinta de alinear la orientación política. Everything it addresses – the causes of western democratic anger and how to fix it – has been magnified by the lockdown and the resulting economic deep freeze . This is an original and serious take on how and why we're doing economics wrong, and why this is leading to the global anger that we see manifested in nationalist and populist movements throughout the world.

With considerable sophistication and a good dose of humour, this book dissects the popular anger that has made our economics unsustainable and our politics dysfunctional. For example, with the concept of social distancing more or less being a permanent facet in the lexicon of employment, the need for automation would only increase exponentially. Framed as a dialogue between a hedge fund manager (Lonergan) and a political scientist (Blyth), this equally entertaining and rigorous book locates the roots of today’s angry, antiestablishment politics in macroeconomic and financial instability, technological change, and rising inequality, which together have created a sense of economic exclusion and insecurity . The book is broken down into 5 big dialogues between the two economists that cover most of the macro and micro economic reasons why people are so angry today as well as the social aspects that led to Trump, Brexit and disillusion with Capitalism 3.Fascinating content, fascinating voices and everything explained in simple and understandable language. Una inflación baja y una reglamentación estricta de los bancos pueden dar lugar a fases muy prolongadas de pleno empleo y estabilidad secular. With the world currently being ravaged by the COVID-19 pandemic and the lure of a vaccine still quite some time away, the micro and macro stressors that incite public anger and resentment are only bound to increase. They've tried to draw together most of the economic forces at work into a coherent framework that explains why everyday people - us - are all so hopping mad with how things are going right now in the west.

When public anger casts aside its moral outrage in a positive form and begins forming exclusive ranks and groups, it takes on a more dangerous and devious shape. There were some real moments of having my mind blown contained in the book and some really handy points to take away.

It keeps the structure fresh with two educated, well thought out, opinions without necessarily always agreeing with each other. El resurgimiento del llamado populismo se traduce entonces como la lucha por proteger la nación y la economía nacional contra las fuerzas externas que producen estas desigualdades.

Today, people are more worried than ever before: inequality is rising, wages are stagnating, tech is dystopian and things are changing way too fast for us to adjust. I would have liked a little more details on some of them, but it's a good chapter worth diving into. It's incredible what a difference a few years can make when it comes to economic proposals and analysis; of course those few years include an ongoing pandemic, insurrection, military invasion and the resulting global economic turmoil.I feel the thinking about anger was confused and confusing, and it would have been useful to engage a bit more with the contemporary philosophy on emotions (Neo-sentimentalists for instance) rather than just cite Aristotle a few times and then point to Nussbaum once. Blyth, whose Austerity: The History of a Dangerous Idea was one of the most illuminating books that I've read on the various roles "classical" economic thought has played over the 20th and early 21st centuries. Blyth and Lonergan talk about the economic reasons people are so viscerally angry, how this anger is manipulated, and what can be done to allow the world to progress rather than head off a cliff in swift pulls in one direction or another. While I appreciate many of the observations and ideas proposed in this book overall I found it too cautious in its proposed solutions.
