Paul Krugman

Opis

Economics, as Keynes wrote, is dangerous for good or evil. Paul Krugman, one of the world's best economists, has made a second career railing against poor economic reasoning wherever it may arise. In doing so, he has persuaded a large number of readers that the lessons of good economics are not so difficult after all, that the insights can be downright intriguing. This text weaves together articles and addresses into a short narrative on the major economic issues of the latter 1990s: unemployment, globalization, economic growth, financial speculation, and more. All are joined by Krugman's view of the basic economics behind the issues and the wit and energy with which he applies those principles.
