Everybody in the US is so angry these days, Angrynomics delves into the relationship between the economic situation and this public anger. It is a quick read, presented as dialogues between the 2 authors. Though timely, I really felt that the book was lacking in structure, real data and insights.
My rating: ★★★☆☆
My review: https://codeyarns.com/personal/2025-01-26-angrynomics.html
"I have an 11-year old and I want her to actually have a future. If we’re not focusing on this stuff, if we are talking about trivia, if we’re doing the politics of distraction, you’re putting my 11-year old’s future and everyone else in her generation in deep, deep risk. That is unacceptable."

Hell yes!

"... if you think about the people who went to the Capitol building on January the 6th, they were morally outraged, too. You may disagree with those morals, but that was a motivator for their anger.
We got interested in this whole area and we basically settled on a story about macro-angrynomics and micro-angrynomics."
