Good Economics for Hard Times

August 2020, was close to the US presidential election. It was perhaps one of the most polarizing elections of our times. A lot of social and economic issues such as immigration, global trade, climate change and racial equality were in the limelight. Myriad of opinion articles on these topics did not quench my desire to understand these topics and how government policies impact all of us.

This book is brilliant in answering some of the toughest questions. I loved the fact that authors provide data from several studies to make their point. I found the use of extensive data generated by research backed methods to make a point about some of the hottest socio economic issues really compelling.

If you are someone who is interested in learning more about global issues like immigration, global trade, climate change and racial equality and how government policies impact them then I will highly recommend reading this book.
