What to expect
Why are measures of stress and anxiety on the rise when economists and politicians tell us we have never had it so good? While statistics tell us that the vast majority of people are getting steadily richer, the world most of us experience day in and day out feels increasingly uncertain, unfair, and ever more expensive.
In Angrynomics, Eric Lonergan and Mark Blyth explore the rising tide of anger, sometimes righteous and useful, sometimes destructive and ill-targeted, and propose radical new solutions for an increasingly polarized and confusing world. Angrynomics is for anyone wondering, where the hell do we go from here?
Critics Review
-
“Blyth and Lonergan call their book Angrynomics because it is the individual’s lived economic experience that drives the anger.”
The Times (London)
-
“We live in angry societies. This book, built around lively dialogues between the two authors, explains why that should not be surprising, given what has happened over the last few decades.”
Financial Times (London)
-
“With considerable sophistication and a good dose of humor, this book dissects the popular anger that has made our economics unsustainable and our politics dysfunctional. Lonergan and Blyth rightly call for a reset of our current model of capitalism. To their great credit, they also provide creative—and practical—ideas for moving forward.”
Dani Rodrik, Harvard University
-
“An excellent, thought-provoking book that should be read by anyone with an interest in economics or politics. Angrynomics is a new term to me but one that should be at the heart of political debate.”
Philip Coggan, Medium
