ECONOMICS FOR THE COMMON GOOD - JEAN TIROLE STE...

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. To
show how economics can help us realize the common good  Tirole shares his insights on a broad
array of questions affecting our everyday lives and the future of our society  including global
warming  unemployment  the post-2008 global financial order  the Euro crisis  the digital
revolution  innovation  and the proper balance between the free market and regulation.
Providing a rich account of how economics can benefit everyone  Economics for the Common Good
sets a new agenda for the role of economics in society.
