Dani Rodrik - The Case for a Bold Economics
“Who has the upper
hand in bargaining for wages and employment benefits? Who dominates markets and
who must submit to market forces? Who can move across borders and who is stuck
at home? Who can evade taxation and who cannot? Who gets to set the agenda of
trade negotiations and who is excluded? Who can vote and who is effectively
disenfranchised? We argue that addressing such asymmetries makes sense not only
from a distributional standpoint, but also for improving overall economic
performance.”
