Questioning ones views as circumstances evolve can be a good thing
Economics has achieved much; there are large bodies of often nonobvious theoretical understandings and of careful and sometimes compelling empirical evidence. The profession knows and understands many things. Yet today we are in some disarray.

Climate change puts progress in peril Original
12 min read Join us While progress has been made over the past 250 years, recent events suggest a reversal of fortune. Climate change poses the biggest threat to continued progress, and political arrangements have undergone profound changes. Premium It has been 10 years since I wrote The Great Escape, which tells the story of how human life improved over the past 250 years, particularly in terms of longevity and material living standards.
Les menaces qui pèsent sur la santé vont demeurer au centre de lâhistoire du progrès et de ses reculs
Dans La Grande Evasion, publié il y a dix ans (traduit chez PUF en 2016), je racontais comment la vie humaine sâest améliorée au cours des deux cent cinquante dernières années, notamment en termes de longévité et de niveau de vie matériel. Mais la dernière décennie nâa pas été tendre avec mon récit débordant dâoptimisme. Jâavais peut-être raison en 2013, mais ce nâest probablement plus le cas aujourdâhui, même pour lâindividu moyen.
El progreso en peligro
La tensión creciente entre Estados Unidos y China es uno de los principales peligros para la estabilidad. DREAMSTIME EXPANSION ¿Es la vida mejor hoy que en cualquier otro momento? Esta afirmación parecía cierta en 2013, pero puede que ya no. La pregunta importante ahora es si estamos ante un retroceso transitorio o ante el inicio de algo peor.

Meinung – Gefahr für den Fortschritt
Inzwischen sind zehn Jahre vergangen, seit ich «The Great Escape» geschrieben habe. Das Buch erzählt davon, wie sich das menschliche Leben in den vergangenen 250 Jahren verbessert hat, besonders was Lebenserwartung und materiellen Lebensstandard angeht. Doch das vergangene Jahrzehnt war meiner überwiegend positiven Darstellung nicht freundlich gesinnt.
Global progress is in peril
It has been 10 years since I wrote “The Great Escape,” which tells the story of how human life improved over the past 250 years, particularly in terms of longevity and material living standards. But the past decade has been unkind to my overwhelmingly positive account. My observation that “life is better now than at any time in history” may have been true in 2013, but it probably is not today, even for the typical person.

Progress in Peril | by Angus Deaton - Project Syndicate
We Live in Interesting Times: As I see it, the US political and elite classes are now afraid of our low inventory level of manufactured military armaments depleted by our supplying arms to Ukraine. One factor is that we need a store of military armaments to guarantee our ability to fight a second theater war in Asia if China decides to invade Taiwan. The second factor is fear of US financial collapse.

In America, not having a college degree can take years off your life
By many measures, the U.S. economy is thriving: Unemployment stands close to the 50-year low set in April, the fraction of people aged 25 to 54 in work is at a two-decade high, gross domestic product is growing rapidly, inflation is falling, and the S & P 500 is a third higher than it was before the pandemic. While encouraging, economic statistics like these offer an incomplete picture of the state of the country.

How Misreading Adam Smith Helped Spawn Deaths of Despair
Editors’ Note: This is a revised version of a lecture given at the Adam Smith Tercentenary celebrations at the University of Glasgow on June 8, 2023. Several of the arguments are developed further in the author’s forthcoming book, Economics in America: An Immigrant Economist Explores the Land of Inequality. One of the many pleasures of being a Scottish economist is being able to acknowledge Adam Smith as a predecessor. Smith was one of Scotland’s greatest thinkers in both economics and philosophy.

Why Americans Are Dying So Young with Anne Case and Angus Deaton on Apple Podcasts
Life expectancy in the U.S. has been on the decline, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While the COVID-19 pandemic killed more than 1 million people in America, 2014-2015 was actually an inflection point for mortality rates. What went wrong and what’s behind the downward trend?
Puzzling About Inequality – - Samuel Gregg
Everyone loves to talk about America, especially non-Americans. Whether it is Hector St. John de Crèvecoeur’s Letter from an American Farmer (1782), Alexis de Tocqueville’s Democracy in America (1835/1840), or Jacques Maritain’s Reflections on America (1958), there has never been a shortage of foreign observers who think that the rest of the world has much to learn, for better and worse, from America.

PRINCETON – As 2023 begins, it is clear that an ever-growing number of people hold democratic capitalism in disrepute, and economists along with it. But how much responsibility – and what kind – do economists bear for our economies’ ills? In 2010, an influential, Oscar-winning documentary portrayed us as scoundrels concerned only with our own financial gain, and as lobbyists and apologists for the rich, who reward us generously for our work.

Who broke American democracy
Who broke American democracy, Opinion - THE BUSINESS TIMES
American democracy was broken long before the MAGA zealots denied the election and stormed the Capitol
PRINCETON, N.J. ( Project Syndicate) - The current mainstream narrative in the United States holds that democracy is under threat from MAGA zealots, election deniers, and Republicans who are threatening to ignore unfavorable results (as well as recruiting loyalists to oversee elections and police polling places). That narrative is true, but only up to a point. There is another, longer-running story with a different set of malefactors.

America’s killer capitalism
PRINCETON – A great failure of contemporary American capitalism is that it is not serving everyone. The educated minority — the one-third of the adult population with a four-year college degree — has prospered, but the majority has lost out, not just relatively but absolutely. The facts are increasingly clear and hard to ignore. Less-educated Americans’ prospects are getting worse: they are losing materially, they are enduring more pain and social isolation, and their lives are getting shorter.

An interview with Angus Deaton - Project Syndicate
PS: In Deaths of Despair and the Future of Capitalism, you and Anne Case exposed an epidemic of deaths by suicide, accidental drug overdose, and alcohol-related liver disease among less-educated Americans, rooted in the “slow destruction of working-class life since 1970.” An “absurdly expensive” health-care system, financed largely by employer-based insurance, significantly exacerbates this trend – not least by pricing the least skilled out of good jobs.
Life expectancy in adulthood is falling for those without a BA degree, but as educational gaps have widened, racial gaps have narrowed
Significance Without a 4-y college diploma, it is increasingly difficult to build a meaningful and successful life in the United States. We explore what the BA divide has done to longevity, focusing on a measure of expected years lived between ages 25 and 75. In the richest large country in the world, with frontier medical technology, expected years lived between 25 and 75 declined for most of a decade for men and women without a 4-y degree, even prior to the arrival of COVID-19.
