Banerjee and Duflo won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences last year, and they’re two of the smartest economists working today. Fortunately for us, they’re also very good at making economics accessible to the average person. Their newest book takes on inequality and political divisions by focusing on policy debates that are at the forefront in wealthy countries like the United States.

They may split a Nobel Prize, but Duflo and Banerjee make economics approachable as they tackle economic solutions to some of the biggest issues facing modern economies.
