Paperback. Etat : Good. BESTSELLER DEL NEW YORK TIMES Malcolm Gladwell, presentador del podcast Historia Revisionista y autor del libro #1 de las superventas de New York Times Outliers, ofrece una examinación potente de nuestras interacciones con extraños--y porqué frecuentemente nos salen mal. ¿Cómo pudo engañar Fidel Castro a los del CIA por una generación? ¿Por qué pensó Neville Chamberlain que podía confiar en Adolfo Hitler? ¿Por qué están incrementado los abusos sexuales en las universidades? ¿Nos enseñan las comedias de la televisión algo equivocado de cómo nos relacionamos? Hablar con extraños es una aventura intelectual clásicamente Gladwelliano, una excursión retadora y controversial a través de la historia, la psicología y los escándalos sacados directamente de las noticias. Reconsidera las decepciones de Bernie Madoff, el juicio de Amanda Knox, el suicidio de Sylvia Plath, el escándalo pedofilia de Jerry Sandusky en la Universidad de Penn State y la muerte de Sandra Bland--sometiendo a la duda nuestra comprensión de estas historias y otras. Algo está muy mal, argumenta Gladwell, con las herramientas y estrategias que utilizamos para entender a las personas desconocidas. Y debido a que no sabemos hablar con extraños, estamos invitando el conflicto y malentendido en formas que tienen un efecto profundo en nuestras vidas y nuestro mundo. En su primer libro desde su bestseller #1, David y Goliat, Malcolm Gladwell ha escrito un fascinante guía para los tiempos turbulentos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast "Revisionist History" and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Outliers, offers a powerful examination of our interactions with strangers--and why they often go wrong.    How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to each other that isn't true? Talking to Strangers is a classically Gladwellian intellectual adventure, a challenging and controversial excursion through history, psychology, and scandals taken straight from the news. He revisits the deceptions of Bernie Madoff, the trial of Amanda Knox, the suicide of Sylvia Plath, the Jerry Sandusky pedophilia scandal at Penn State University, and the death of Sandra Bland---throwing our understanding of these and other stories into doubt. Something is very wrong, Gladwell argues, with the tools and strategies we use to make sense of people we don't know. And because we don't know how to talk to strangers, we are inviting conflict and misunderstanding in ways that have a profound effect on our lives and our world. In his first book since his #1 bestseller, David and Goliath, Malcolm Gladwell has written a gripping guidebook for troubled times. …

Paperback. Etat : Good. El nuevo libro de los premios Nobel de Economía Banerjee y Duflo, autores de Repensar la pobreza. «No todos los economistas llevan corbata y piensan como banqueros. De lectura obligada.»-Thomas Piketty Descubrir cómo lidiar con los problemas económicos críticos de hoy es quizás el gran desafío de nuestro tiempo. Mucho más grande que el viaje espacial o tal vez incluso el próximo avance médico revolucionario, lo que está en juego es la idea de la buena vida tal como la conocemos. En este libro refrescante e ideal para el momento que vivimos, los premios Nobel Duflo y Banerjee descubren al lector hasta qué punto la economía, cuando se ejerce bien, puede resolver nuestros problemas sociales y políticos más acuciantes. Tenemos los recursos para afrontar todos los retos, de la inmigración a la desigualdad o a la emergencia climática, pero la ideología nos ciega con demasiada frecuencia. ¿Por qué las migraciones no siguen las leyes de la oferta y la demanda? ¿Por qué la liberalización del comercio puede aumentar el desempleo y bajar los salarios? ¿Por qué nadie ha logrado explicar de manera convincente las condiciones necesarias para el crecimiento? Las experiencias de las últimas décadas no han ofrecido una imagen amable de los economistas: dormidos al volante (con el pie en el acelerador) en el periodo previo a la gran recesión, discutiendo después sobre cómo salir de ella, o haciendo oídos sordos a las voces de alarma sobre la difícil situación de Grecia o la zona euro, parecen haber perdido la capacidad de orientarnos. Sin embargo, Duflo y Banerjee defienden el papel de los economistas, así como el intervencionismo inteligente y la búsqueda de una sociedad basada en la empatía y el respeto. Este libro es un verdadero antídoto contra el discurso polarizado. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The winners of the Nobel Prize show how economics, when done right, can help us solve the thorniest social and political problems of our day. Figuring out how to deal with today's critical economic problems is perhaps the great challenge of our time. Much greater than space travel or perhaps even the next revolutionary medical breakthrough, what is at stake is the whole idea of the good life as we have known it. Immigration and inequality, globalization and technological disruption, slowing growth and accelerating climate change--these are sources of great anxiety across the world, from New Delhi and Dakar to Paris and Washington, DC. The resources to address these challenges are there--what we lack are ideas that will help us jump the wall of disagreement and distrust that divides us. If we succeed, history will remember our era with gratitude; if we fail, the potential losses are incalculable. In this revolutionary book, renowned MIT economists Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo take on this challenge, building on cutting-edge research in economics explained with lucidity and grace. Original, provocative, and urgent, Good Economics for Hard Times makes a persuasive case for an intelligent interventionism and a society built on compassion and respect. It is an extraordinary achievement, one that shines a light to help us appreciate and understand our precariously balanced world.…
