Kargolama berbat
Olduğu gibi, sarılmadan direk kutunun içine konulup gönderilmiş. Kenarları katlanmış, yırtılmış, hasar görmüş. Başka bir satıcıdan almanızı tavsiye ederim.

Je mets cinq étoiles pour la qualité de la rédaction, la clarté et les exemples précis
Mais à quoi cela sert il de gagner 0,2 ou 0,3% de croissance en plus par an (le troisième chapitre est sur la croissance), comme s'est vanté récemment le ministre français de l'économie en comparant le pays à l'Allemagne, quand une catastrophe non préparée fait baisser de 10% le PIB. A fortiori quand les 0,2% ou 0,3% de croissance ont été gagnés en faisant des économies sur le système de santé. Mis à part cette polémique, ce livre étudie en profondeur les mécanismes de croissance et les mécanismes de redistribution pour éviter l'extrème pauvreté. Ceci avec des exemples concrets principalement en Inde (l'un des auteurs est indien) et aux États Unis, et un peu aussi en France car Esther Duflo est notre prix Nobel d'ecomomie 2019

A wonderful book to read, no matter you agree or not with the authors
This is a book from democratic economists. The authors are the 2019 Nobel Prize Laureates. You don't have to agree with the authors on their view points, but you still can learn a lot from the reading. The book covers the most important and urgent topics in economics, immigration and mobility of labor, trading, preference and demands, growth, environment protection, new technology and labor, governments, welfare. First, the book uses a lot of solid data and case studies. The arguments are built on top of them. Second, the book analyzes the problems systematically through hypotheses and verifications. It shows a lot of misconceptions by so-called intuitions and imaginations. Third, the authors try hard to describe their reasoning, instead of presenting some big but not well supported statements. One of the best books in 2020. I bought the paperback, but I recommend the hardcover, which would be more readable.
