Comment: Excellant information which every informed citizen needs. Krugman makes economics understandable. A must read.
Customer Rating:
Summary: lucid, description of the forces at play
Comment: Krugman is a superb communicator, as evidenced by his semi-weekly columns in the NYT. This book is written at the same level, and not that of an economic text. It clearly describes the economic forces which have resulted in booms and busts, the role of confidence, of lending, of hedge funds, greed, and the learning curve of the regulators and governments which try to prevent or cope with the down-turns.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very informative and easy-reading at the same time
Comment: I was really positively surprised that a book written by a Nobel-Prize winner in economics can be as exciting as a detective story. This is partly thanks to the jargon-free language but equally thanks to a great talent of Mr Krugman to present complicated issues in a clear way (which is not to say that the Author has answers to all questions - just the opposite). To me the most shocking discovery was the statement that American society enjoyed economic prosperity in the years since 1989 thanks to bubbles - in the shares market and then in the real estate market. Now they need another bubble to prosper - would you believe that???
