description: Economics increasingly fails to explain why the pressures of life appear to be intensifying at the same time as income per capita is rising or why we work more hours for less money in real terms. And why we see the rise of nationalism everywhere when globalization on average has made us all richer. The disconnect between our experience of the world and the economic model used to explain it has given rise to angrynomics: an economy of heightened uncertainty and anger where faith in the workings of markets and politics has been undermined and rapid and seemingly ever-accelerating economic change has become something to be feared.Eric Lonergan and Mark Blyth have written a book for anyone anxious worried  or angry  about the mismatch between how they experience the world with the increasing day to day pressures they face and the model used by economic elites and politicians to explain and justify it. In a powerful and passionately argued analysis they bring their critical insight and expertise to bear on the nature of angrynomics and offer a set of radical and innovative policies that cut across tired party political lines  and that if implemented might just help the world to be a less angry place.
