Summary

Why are measures of stress and anxiety on the rise when economists and politicians tell us we have never had it so good? While statistics tell us that the vast majority of people are getting steadily richer, the world most of us experience day in and day out feels increasingly uncertain, unfair, and ever more expensive. In Angrynomics, Eric Lonergan and Mark Blyth explore the rising tide of anger, sometimes righteous and useful, sometimes destructive and ill-targeted, and propose radical new solutions for an increasingly polarized and confusing world. Angrynomics is for anyone wondering, where the hell do we go from here?

Hope those yahoo can make the changes are reading this book

While the title and cover suggests this is going to be a simple, dumbed-down exploration of the economy and why many are angry, this is both exact and extensive, insightful and rigorous in its analysis. It also offers some interesting and exciting ideas as ways forward. I just hope this is being read by those who can make the political and economic changes.

Welcome new ideas for a time that badly needs them

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!

Fantastic! I hope they follow this up!

As a fairly new and very much amateur enthusiast into the world of economic literature this is exactly my kind of book. Relatable and succinct, but also creatively written and hugely insightful. Big fan!

almost there.

i have been reading economics since 2007 trying to understand what went wrong and how to fix it. i think there are now ideas around to make version 4 of the economy. but i think the governments will remain hesitant to change. they have given the voters an understanding of the economy that serves the interests of the rich and powerful. unless the powerful have something very real to loose they wont act.

Back in the day Londoners where dieing of cholera, but Westminster didnt get a sewage system built until the Thames was so full of raw sewage that they had to abandon parliament.

Appealing economic overview

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I whole heartedly agree with the criticism of the uk and EU economic policy post financial crash; lack of financial controls that caused it; and continued support to the capital rich few at the expense of the 95 percent. They introduce useful economic metaphors by way of explanation and make concepts understandable. Not so enthused about the question and answer format but understand why they might have chose that format .

Great book

Great book, it both provides insightful analysis of the last decade while also provides interesting policy solutions to problems encountered in many Western democracies.

Stop everything and read this short book

The two authors get to the heart of what has been going wrong with capitalism in its various guises. The book is written as a conversation between the two leading to what a new form of capitalism should look like. There solitons have merit and have actually started to be used in the pandemic.
