A magnificent achievement, and the perfect book for our time. Banerjee and Duflo brilliantly illuminate the largest issues of the day, including immigration, trade, climate change, and inequality. If you read one policy book this year -- heck, this decade - read this one. --Cass R. Sunstein, Robert Walmsley University Professor, Harvard University, and author, How Change Happens Not all economists wear ties and think like bankers. In their wonderfully refreshing book, Banerjee and Duflo delve into impressive areas of new research questioning conventional views about issues ranging from trade to top income taxation and mobility, and offer their own powerful vision of how we can grapple with them. A must-read. --Thomas Piketty, professor, Paris School of Economics, and author of Capital in the Twenty-first Century
