From the rear cover
"I predict that Jean Tirole's Economics for the Common Good will join Thomas Piketty's Capital in the Twenty-First Century as the two most widely read and important books by economists yet to be published in this century. With Tirole's terrific, wisdom-filled book, the world will be a better place."--Glenn Loury, Brown University
"Jean Tirole is that rare exception, a Nobel laureate who believes he has a responsibility to talk clearly about the concerns of noneconomists. This exceptional book shows the value of careful economic thinking on issues ranging from unemployment to global warming. It should be required reading for policymakers, but also for anybody else who wants to understand today's economy."--Olivier Blanchard, former Chief Economist of the International Monetary Fund
"Jean Tirole puts at center stage the essential contribution of economics, and economists, to our shared hopes and aspirations for the societies we live in. This is an essential book with a hopeful message for anyone concerned about the key economic challenges we all face today."--Diane Coyle, author of GDP: A Brief but Affectionate History
"Economics for the Common Good is a delightfully written and deeply insightful book, offering striking and illuminating paradoxes about economic behavior."--Harold James, Princeton University
