Angrynomics by Eric Lonergan
The New Science of How Emotions Drive Our Economy
A concise, interdisciplinary analysis arguing that widespread political anger is not simply irrational outrage but a predictable response to economic and social shifts: rising inequality, stagnating living standards, financialization and weakened institutions, amplified by media and algorithm-driven information flows. Drawing on economics, psychology and history, it explains how feelings of loss, status threats and relative deprivation become political fuel, how elites and platforms channel grievances into populism and conspiracy, and why standard technocratic fixes often miss the mark. The book closes by outlining practical remedies—reforming markets, rebuilding legitimate institutions, improving narratives and restoring agency and fairness—to reduce polarization and make economies work better for more people.
