In this "clear, provocative" (Boston Globe) New York Times
bestseller, Paul Krugman, today's most widely read economist,
examines the past eighty years of American history, from the
reforms that tamed the harsh inequality of the Gilded Age and the
1920s to the unraveling of that achievement and the reemergence of
immense economic and political inequality since the 1970s. Seeking
to understand both what happened to middle-class America and what
it will take to achieve a "new New Deal," Krugman has created his
finest book to date, a "stimulating manifesto" offering "a
compelling historical defense of liberalism and a clarion call for
Americans to retake control of their economic destiny" (Publishers
Weekly).
"As Democrats seek a rationale not merely for returning to
power, but for fundamentally changing or changing back the
relationship between America's government and its citizens, Mr.
Krugman's arguments will prove vital in the months and years
ahead." Peter Beinart, New York Times"
