They've tried to draw together most of the economic forces at work into a coherent framework that explains why everyday people - us - are all so hopping mad with how things are going right now in the west. Some of the data that are collected include the number of visitors, their source, and the pages they visit anonymously. The smart friends I managed to discuss these situations of such people with always get very angry "Those people should get educated, yadayada". This induced a wave of tribal rage across the country unleashing a false perception that immigration had a linear bearing on other economic and social distresses such as job losses, recession and a spurt in crime. Why are measures of stress and anxiety on the rise, when economists and politicians tell us we have never had it so good?

The book really is limited in its discussion to the period from after WWII to the present … touching on the current COVID-19 era. I avoided this book for a while, because from Mark Blyth podcasts it seem'd to me that book would be about tribes, anger and not much about the economics. An accessible, logical and inspiring perspective on where we are at as a civilisation, and where we might go next which is uplifting and compatible with optimism! A very well written and easy to read book which lays bare the anger that we often see in the masses today.I found dialogue 5 particularly interesting as the authors provide some interesting solutions for tackling the issues raised in the previous sections of the book. We've been hearing about basic income ever since the crash of 2008, although it hadn't gone anywhere near major adoption, while the market as a whole now experiences a great resignation and more likely than not will soon experience a great stagnation. These issues were often at odds with the requirements of an international financial system and the growth and strength of that system too often forced local political policies to kowtow to its needs or be bypassed and left out. The endnotes that were included didn't seem to make the book unaccessible, and if someone isn't interested in them I don't see why they would ignore 30 endnote, but couldn't ignore 50.

This book is that rare pre-Covid-19 manuscript that has been made fortuitously more relevant by the virus . and the one worth investigated by more readers as it also provides some sound ideas of moving forward. Neoliberalism broke that down by a mixture of union busting, globalising supply chains, financialisation etc. It would be next to impossible to run radical libertarian software on the German economy, and running the software for Swedish social democracy is likely to raise severe incompatibility issues in the US.I mean it was ok and nothing was bad per see, but it still felt like they were reciting other peoples' ideas. Framed as a dialogue between a hedge fund manager (Lonergan) and a political scientist (Blyth), this equally entertaining and rigorous book locates the roots of today's angry, antiestablishment politics in macroeconomic and financial instability, technological change, and rising inequality, which together have created a sense of economic exclusion and insecurity . pleacă de la general (context), apoi se concentrează pe un subiect (macroeconomie, microeconomie, sursele frustrărilor oamenilor - ce le provoacă și cum se manifestă ele în special în fața urnelor de vot). Angrynomics” is a very essential and relevant work especially considering the unprecedented times that we find ourselves in.
