The accidental theorist and other dispatches from the dismal science London Penguin 1999 204 p. ; 22 cm. In this wonderfully cohesive set of sharp and witty essays, Paul Krugman tackles bad economic ideas from across the political spectrum. In plain English, he enlightens us on the Asian crisis, corporate downsizing, and the globalization of the American economy, among other topics. The writing here brilliantly combines the acerbic style and clever analysis that has made Krugman famous. Imagine declaring New York its own country and you get a better picture of our trade balance with China and Hong Kong. Try reducing the economy to the production of hot dogs and buns and you?ll understand why common beliefs about the impact of production efficiency on labor demand are wrong. This is a collection that will amuse, provoke, and enlighten, in classic Paul Krugman style Economics. 4048 4048 0 0 0 0 U001 U001 2025-01-17 0 330KRU 004093 2025-01-31 00:00:00 2025-01-17 BK
