Tirole, Jean,
Economics for the common good / Jean Tirole ; translated by Steven Rendall. - Princeton : Princeton University Press, [2017] - xii, 563 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 25 cm
Translated from the French.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
When Jean Tirole won the 2014 Nobel Prize in Economics, he suddenly found himself being stopped in the street by complete strangers and asked to comment on issues of the day, no matter how distant from his own areas of research. His transformation from academic economist to public intellectual prompted him to reflect further 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, far from being a 'dismal science', is a positive force for the common good.
