In plain English, he enlightens us on the Asian crisis, corporate downsizing, and the globalization of the American economy, among other topics.

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  aEconomics.  c4048d4048  00104070aU001bU001d2025-01-17l0o330KRUp004093r2025-01-31 00:00:00w2025-01-17yBK
