Business & Economics

Digital technology, big data, big tech, machine learning, and Al are revolutionizing both the tools of economics and the phenomena it seeks to measure, understand, and shape. In Cogs and Monsters, Diane Coyle explores the enormous problems-but also opportunities-facing economics today and examines what it must do to help policymakers solve the world's crises, from pandemic recovery and inequality to slow growth and the climate emergency. Filled with original insights, Cogs and Monsters offers a road map for how economics can realize its potential to play a hugely positive role in the twenty-first century.
