review 1: Paul Krugman really hits the nail on the head with this book. His analysis is spot on and he makes some fairly complected subject matter a breeze. This is a book that can be read by a layperson and understood well, and yet also provide much more detail for a more serious student of depression economics. His chapters on liquidity traps, and the European crisis are fantastic. His chapter on inequality became a little bit of a stretch for me, but still served his point. A very quick read and one that I will pick up to add to my home shelf. Even two years after it was published it is still very relevant and goes into great detail in what went wrong with Stimulus I and what we would need to do in Stimulus II to pull our economy out of it's depression.
review 2: Prof... more. Krugman is one of this nation's most underutilized and unheeded national treasures. Many of us, myself among them, hung on his every word when the "Great Recession-we-can't-call-Depression" got started. Some of us lotus eaters even had the crazy idea that he would have been perfect for the job that, sadly, went to Timothy Geithner. It was a case of Wall Street trumping Pennsylvania Avenue. So what's new? It's one thing when you can honestly say, "I didn't have any way to see this coming." Cheers, tears, and libations all around, please. It's quite another matter when voices of reason, Krugman often first among them, have been touting the error of our ways while fanatically capitalist Nero's were fiddling around. In this respect, reading Prof. Krugman can be frustrating, even maddening when you start to take stock of the wasted opportunities for change, and more importantly, the opportunities to avoid what became the second greatest financial catastrophe to occur in a mere 100 years of our history. We just can't seem to help ourselves. As long as Krugman is around, our capacity for self-delusion will always be challenged by fact. The escape from these delusions is a road of economic and social truths that, sadly, we Americans simply refuse to walk. less
