There is no better guide than Paul Krugman to basic economics, the
ideas that animate much of our public policy. Likewise, there is no
better foe of zombie economics, the misunderstandings that just
won't die. Arguing with Zombies is Krugman "the most hated and most
admired columnist in the US" (Martin Wolf, Financial Times) at his
best, turning readers into intelligent consumers of the daily news
with quick, vivid sketches of the key concepts behind taxes, health
care, international trade and more. In this new book, in which he
builds on and expands his The New York Times columns and other
writings, "the most celebrated economist of his generation" (The
Economist), offers short, accessible chapters on topics including
the European Union and Brexit, the fight for national health care
in the United States, the financial meltdown of 2007-2008, the
attack on Social Security and the fraudulent argument-the ultimate
zombie-that tax cuts for the rich will benefit all.
The Great Recession is more than four years old and counting. Yet,
as Paul Krugman points out in this powerful volley, "Nations rich
in resources, talent, and knowledge all the ingredients for
prosperity and a decent standard of living for all remain in a
state of intense pain." How bad have things gotten? How did we get
stuck in what now can only be called a depression? And above all,
how do we free ourselves? Krugman pursues these questions with his
characteristic lucidity and insight. He has a powerful message for
anyone who has suffered over these past four years a quick, strong
recovery is just one step away, if our leaders can find the
"intellectual clarity and political will" to end this depression
now."

tools for understanding the changing world economy and economic
implications of global interdependence.
From a giant of health care policy, an engaging and enlightening
account of why American health care is so expensive-and why it
doesn't have to be Uwe Reinhardt was a towering figure and moral
conscience of health care policy in the United States and beyond.
Famously bipartisan, he advised presidents and Congress on health
reform and originated central features of the Affordable Care Act.
In Priced Out, Reinhardt offers an engaging and enlightening
account of the U.S. health care system, explaining why it costs so
much more and delivers so much less than the systems of every other
advanced country, why this situation is morally indefensible, and
how we might improve it. Drawing on the best evidence, he guides
readers through the chaotic, secretive, and inefficient way America
pays for health care, dispelling the confusion, ignorance, myths,
and misinformation that hinder effective reform.

Economic Sense and Nonsense in an Age of Diminished Expectations
Newsweek hailed Paul Krugman as "a superstar among economists" and went on to praise Peddling Prosperity as "the best primer around on recent U.S. economic history." Others joined the chorus. This wonderfully received book finds him in top form, observing the years he's dubbed "the age of diminished expectations." The past twenty years have been an era of economic disappointment in the United States. They have also been a time of intense economic debate, as rival ideologies contend for policy influence. But strange things have happened to economic ideas on their way to power: they've been hijacked by policy entrepreneurs—economic snake-oil salesmen, right or left, who offer easy answers to hard problems. Supply-siders rose to power with Ronald Reagan and not only cured nothing but left behind a $3 trillion debt. Krugman finds an unhappy parallel in those who shape policy within the Clinton administration.
Research programmes in economics usually emerge from the
intersection between a new analytical approach and a real economic
problem. In the last few years, such a programme has emerged in
international monetary economics, which is underpinned by a
theoretical framework grounded in stochastic calculus and the
increasing prominence in the real world of the international
monetary arrangements under which national monetary authorities
attempt to keep exchange rates within bands or 'target zones'. This
new programme of research also covers switches in exchange rate
regimes. This volume from the Centre for economic Policy Research
and the National Bureau of Economic Research includes contributions
- as authors or discussants - from most of the active participants
in the development of this new field, and will serve as a useful
introduction and basic text for this new research programme. It
opens with an account of the basic economic model of a currency
band developed by Paul Krugman, which is followed by two papers
that extend this approach. Other chapters study the regime switches
entailed in Britain's return to the gold standard in 1925 and the
preannounced entry of a floating currency into a band such as the
EMS. Essays on sustainability and realignment consider the possible
outcomes of speculative attacks on such bands, and the volume ends
with a paper on econometric testing of models of this type.
From a giant of health care policy, an engaging and enlightening
account of why American health care is so expensive-and why it
doesn't have to be Uwe Reinhardt was a towering figure and moral
conscience of health care policy in the United States and beyond.
Famously bipartisan, he advised presidents and Congress on health
reform and originated central features of the Affordable Care Act.
In Priced Out, Reinhardt offers an engaging and enlightening
account of today's U.S. health care system, explaining why it costs
so much more and delivers so much less than the systems of every
other advanced country, why this situation is morally indefensible,
and how we might improve it. The problem, Reinhardt says, is not
one of economics but of social ethics. There is no American
political consensus on a fundamental question other countries
settled long ago: to what extent should we be our brothers' and
sisters' keepers when it comes to health care? Drawing on the best
evidence, he guides readers through the chaotic, secretive, and
inefficient way America finances health care, and he offers a
penetrating ethical analysis of recent reform proposals. At this
point, he argues, the United States appears to have three stark
choices: the government can make the rich help pay for the health
care of the poor, ration care by income, or control costs.
Reinhardt proposes an alternative path: that by age 26 all
Americans must choose either to join an insurance arrangement with
community-rated premiums, or take a chance on being uninsured or
relying on a health insurance market that charges premiums based on
health status. An incisive look at the American health care system,
Priced Out dispels the confusion, ignorance, myths, and
misinformation that hinder effective reform.

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 crisis the greatest since the 1930s tracing 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 Krugman s trademark style lucid, lively, and
supremely informed this 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."
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"
