About this listen

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?

This is a brilliant book for those who want to know more about how the financial crisis affected us all and what the best ways out of it would’ve been. Some very interesting theories on how governments can generate wealth for all of its citizens not just the 1%.

Very informative 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.

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.

the title and front cover look off-putting, like a spinoff of the Freakonomics series. but don't let that fool you - this was a really good, to-the-point and illuminating book. Written as a dialogue / polemic made it enjoyable.

Honestly a really good book
