Product Description:
The New York Times bestseller: the Nobel Prizeâwinning economist shows how todayâs crisis parallels the Great Depressionâand explains how to avoid catastrophe. With a new foreword for this paperback edition. In this major bestseller, Paul Krugman warns that, like diseases that have become resistant to antibiotics, the economic maladies that caused the Great Depression have made a comeback. He lays bare the 2008 financial crisisâthe greatest since the 1930sâtracing it to the failure of regulation to keep pace with an out-of-control financial system. He also tells us how to contain the crisis and turn around a world economy sliding into a deep recession. Brilliantly crafted in Krugmanâs trademark styleâlucid, lively, and supremely informedâthis new edition of The Return of Depression Economics has become an instant classic. A hard-hitting new foreword takes the paperback edition right up to the present moment.

Krugman made his name as an economist who could do the heavy mathematical lifting that passes for intellectual machismo in the discipline but who also understands the basic intuitive insights of economic modeling.

The way such an economy works is deeply counter ... Read More

I highly recommend 'The Return of Depression Economics and the Crisis of 2008' for the layman who wishes to understand the root and possible remedy for our current economic woes! Krugman has an uncanny ability to explain complex economic issues in an accessible, understandable manner. I particularly appreciate his explanations of some of the economic instruments or activities (hedge funds, currency trading, derivatives, etc.) that got us into this mess!
I plan to re-read the book in ... Read More

Si bien no aporta mucho más que la primera versión impresa en 1999 sigue siendo un clásico para describir las crisis actuales.

The short 191 page book is a great overview of the world's economic crises since the great depression. It explained the different causes of economic crises in the Latin America, Japan, Thailand, Korea, Malaysia, UK, Hong Kong and the U.S. It discussed the roles of non-bank banks played in causing the present crisis. It is an easy and interesting read, especially for a book about economy. The book does not provide any specific suggestions for preventing a crisis from happening again. Like many ... Read More
