<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Mark Blyth and Eric Lonergan 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. <i>Angrynomics</i> is for anyone wondering, where the hell do we go from here?<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>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 <i>Angrynomics</i>, Mark Blyth and Eric Lonergan 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. <i>Angrynomics</i> is for anyone wondering, where the hell do we go from here?<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>An excellent, thought-provoking book that should be read by anyone with an interest in economics or politics. Angrynomics is a new term to me but one that should be at the heart of political debate.--Philip Coggan "Medium "<br><br>In a series of brilliant Socratic dialogues peppered with a score of real-world stories Lonergan and Blyth explain the roots of our current anger - anger over austerity policies, job losses, stagnant wages, million-dollar salaries for the few, broken health systems for the many. But also anger about an economic ideology and political system that seem to ignore people as they are. What to do next? How to reset the system? Never were the answers to such questions more urgent.--Branko Milanovic, Graduate Center, City University of New York<br><br>With considerable sophistication and a good dose of humour, this book dissects the popular anger that has made our economics unsustainable and our politics dysfunctional. Lonergan and Blyth rightly call for a reset of our current model of capitalism. To their great credit, they also provide creative - and practical - ideas for moving forward.--Dani Rodrik, Harvard University<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Eric Lonergan is a macro hedge-fund manager, economist, and author.
