The Economics of Belonging

The Economics of Belonging explores the root causes of rising inequality and societal polarization, emphasizing that current economic challenges are rooted in domestic policies and technological change rather than globalization alone. Martin Sandbu advocates for a bold, reform-driven approach that includes enhancing economic openness, supporting small businesses, and implementing policies like universal basic income and better taxation. The book presents a detailed plan aimed at creating a more inclusive and just economy where everyone can participate and belong, offering constructive solutions to some of society’s most pressing issues.
