Angrynomics
Book • 2021
In 'Angrynomics', Eric Lonergan and Mark Blyth explore the increasing levels of stress, anxiety, and anger despite economic indicators suggesting improvement.
They distinguish between moral anger, which is a legitimate response to economic disparities, and irrational tribal anger exploited by populists.
The authors propose innovative policies such as sovereign wealth funds, cash transfers to households, dual interest rates, and profit sharing to address these issues.
The book also includes a postscript on the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on societal anger and frustration.
