Resumen del Editor

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?

so easy to understand, with all what's going

The speaker on it wasn't too bad, and the story was pretty good on what is going on.

Angrynomics

I liked this book a lot.
The narrators offered useful information and provide well-constructed criticism of our capitalist society. the provided a link between what took place in America as well as Brexit.

Interesting Breakdown of a Growing Issue

The breakdown of the issues was clear and made sense. The anecdotes to start each dialogue were topical and introduced the main concepts well. I found dialogue 5 particularly interesting as the authors provide some interesting solutions for tackling the issues raised in the previous sections of the book. The postscript is also woth listening to as it clarifies their ideas in regards to the massive economic impact of the pandemic.

Captured the anger and the cause well.

I grew up in rural Kansas with people who have been affected by NAFTA n such, so it made perfect sense to me.

great book! performance was good

Extremely informative. I learned a lot, and I've been following mark Blyth for a long time.the conversational style was great. The reading was a little less natural

Better read than listen

I have this book in paperback and in audible. I’ve heard these authors speak on podcasts and they’re excellent, engaging. I actually heard them talk up this book and was really looking forward to it in audible.

The story is great but the delivery is very irritating. The transitions from Lonergan to Blyth are very distracting, it’s hard to follow the content. Then whenever Blyth ‘asks a genuine question’, I found it interrupts your listening and you end up losing track of the discussion.

Lonergan will be finishing a well articulated and engaging point on tribalism or inequality, when abruptly it feels, he is interrupted by Blyth who proceeds to ask an emotionless and canned question which removes any feeling whatsoever that this is a genuine dialogue. Instead it’s irritating and then you miss part of the others argument or continued point.

Having seen the printed copy, I would recommend that above this. It could be excellent as a dialogue but the performance is just too poor.

It would’ve been better if just Lonergan or just Blyth had of narrated, I’ve seen multiple narrators work elsewhere but not here.
