Princeton University Press has published recently, along with the book revised here, some authored books which focus on contemporary socio-economic issues, with the scope to build a fairer, wealthier, and better society: I What we owe each other: A new social contract for a better society i ([5]), by Minouche Shafik; I The inglorious years: The collapse of the industrial order and the rise of digital society i ([2]), by Daniel Cohen; and I The republic of beliefs: A new approach to law and economic i s ([1]), by Kaushik Basu. The titles of the chapters are also very suggestive, and reflect their content: for example, chapter 4, "Half a century of policy mistakes", chapter 5, "Scapegoating Globalisation", chapter 10, "A tax policy for the left behind", and also for the rest of the chapters. The book begins with an interesting preface that describes the impact of the pandemic on society, by intensifying many of the inequalities described in this book. [Extracted from the article]
