Product Description

In 1999, in The Return of Depression Economics, Paul Krugman surveyed the economic crises that had swept across Asia and Latin America, and pointed out that those crises were a warning for all of us: like diseases that have become resistant to antibiotics, the economic maladies that caused the Great Depression were making a comeback. In the years that followed, as Wall Street boomed and financial wheeler-dealers made vast profits, the international crises of the 1990s faded from memory. But now depression economics has come to America: when the great housing bubble of the mid-2000s burst, the U.S. financial system proved as vulnerable as those of developing countries caught up in earlier crises and a replay of the 1930s seems all too possible.

In this new, greatly updated edition of The Return of Depression Economics, Krugman shows how the failure of regulation to keep pace with an increasingly out-of-control financial system set the United States, and the world as a whole, up for the greatest financial crisis since the 1930s. He also lays out the steps that must be taken to contain the crisis, and turn around a world economy sliding into a deep recession. Brilliantly crafted in Krugman's trademark style--lucid, lively, and supremely informed--this new edition of The Return of Depression Economics will become an instant cornerstone of the debate over how to respond to the crisis.

Bullshit
@zadig1:
Thank you for sharing the extensively feeble extractions of your mind in the wake of a Nobel Prize winner...

Thanks to the uploader and seeders!
Krugman complains about the same kind of Economics he has taught for years.

For a real explanation check out:
America's Great Depression
by Murray N. Rothbard

Thanks for the upload!
Thanks plasmaview,

I bought this book in 2008 in the wake of Lehman brothers. I was trying to remember the conclusions of the the book the other day and was considering re-reading it. But now I don't need to :-) I can listen instead.

Thank you

will also check out the link by DNTY even though I am not as critical of Krugman as s/he is.
is this guy a liberal douche?
