Introduction: from economics to angrynomics -- Dialogue 1 Public anger and the energy of tribes -- Dialogue 2 The moral mobs and their handlers -- Dialogue 3 Macroangrynomics: capitalism as hardware, with crashes and resets -- Dialogue 4 Microangrynomics: private stressors, uncertainty and risk -- Dialogue 5 Calming the anger: from angrynomics to an economics that works for everyone -- Conclusions: what's been said, what's not, and what we don't want to forget -- Postscript: angrynomics in a pandemic -- Further reading -- Notes -- Index.
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?
