From the Nobel Prize-winning economist, a bold new agenda for the
role of economics in society When Jean Tirole won the Nobel Prize
in Economics, he suddenly found himself being stopped in the street
by strangers and asked to comment on current events far from his
own research. His transformation from academic economist to public
intellectual prompted him to reflect more deeply 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 can help us improve the shared lot of societies
and humanity as a whole. To show how, Tirole shares his insights on
a broad range 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. Compelling and accessible, Economics for the
Common Good sets a new agenda for the role of economics in society.
