The result is \u003ci\u003eEconomics for the Common Good\u003c\/i\u003e, a passionate manifesto for a world in which economics, far from being a \"dismal science,\" is a positive force for the common good. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEconomists are rewarded for writing technical papers in scholarly journals, not joining in public debates.
