How did we solve the great problems of the contemporary world, from climate change to the labor market crisis, from the gaping inequalities in wealth distribution to the spreading new populisms and nationalisms?Using a broad range of academic sources and an accessible writing style, Tabellini offers a vision of a prosperous future with its roots firmly in the present and its branches always in the realm of possibility.
