"The real argument of the book comes in the second half, namely
that a set of radical but feasible policies holds the solution to
inequality. And, if they were implemented, Sandbu eloquently
argues, more globalisation would benefit all and defang populist
polarisation."---Diane Coyle, Financial Times
"[A] brilliant, if sometimes controversial, exposition of what ails
our economies and political systems."---Chris Johns, Irish
Times
"The Economics of Belonging is a competent, confidently articulated
survey of the academic economics literature on inequality."---Paul
Collier, Prospect
"This is a crisply written analysis of economic discontents and
their political consequences. Though written in the pre-pandemic
era, the conclusions and prescriptions of this book are very
relevant to our current debates."---Paschal Donohoe, Irish
Times
"A wealth of analysis and insight [in] a few hundred
pages."---Peter Thal Larsen, Reuters Breakingviews
"Sophisticated and engaging. . . . Thorough and
compelling."---Paolo Mauro, Finance & Development
"The Economics of Belonging is an important contribution to the
debate about the ‘left-behind’. Sandbu offers a highly readable and
carefully argued narrative, which marshals evidence adroitly and
proposes a range of policy prescriptions, many of which are
persuasive and deserve serious attention."---John Tomaney, LSE
