In the wake of the financial crisis and the Great Recession, economics seems anything but a science. In this sharp, masterfully argued book, Dani Rodrik, a leading critic from within the science, renders a surprisingly upbeat judgement on economics.
Drawing on the history of the field and his deep experience as a practitioner, Dani Rodrik insists that economic activity defies universal laws. But when economists embrace their expertise as a set of tools, not as a grand unified theory, they can improve the world.From successful anti-poverty programmes in Mexico to growth strategies in Africa and intelligent remedies for domestic inequality, Rodrik highlights the profound and positive influence of economics properly applied.
