Losing Our Way in the New Century

The Great Unraveling

Paul Krugman's popular guide to the economic landscape of the 1990s has been revised and updated to take into account economic developments of the past three years. New material in the third edition includes:- A new chapter--complete with colorful examples from Lloyds of London and Sumitomo Metals--on how risky behavior can lead to disaster in private markets.- An evaluation of the Federal Reserves role in reining in economic growth to prevent inflation, and the debate over whether its growth targets are too low.- A look at the collapse of the Mexican peso and the burst of Japans bubble economy.- A revised discussion of the federal budget deficit, including the growing concern that Social Security and Medicare payments to retiring baby boomers will threaten the solvency of the government. Finally, in the updated concluding section, the author provides three possible scenarios for the American economy over the next decade. He warns that we live in an age of diminished expectations, in which the voting public is willing to settle for policy drift--but with the first of the baby boomers turning 65 in 2011, the U.S. economy will not be able to drift indefinitely.

La coscienza di un liberal

Paul Krugman has made a reputation for himself by telling us the truth about economics however unlikely it may seem and however little we want to believe it. In this collection of sharp, witty essays, Krugman tackles bad economic ideas from across the political spectrum, giving us clear-eyed insights into unemployment, globalization, economic growth and financial speculation. The writing here brilliantly combines the acerbic style and clever analysis that has made Krugman famous.

And Other Dispatches from the Dismal Science

The Accidental Theorist

Paul Krugman chronicles how the boom economy unravelled: how exuberance gave way to pessimism, how the age of corporate heroes gave way to corporate scandals, how fiscal responsibility collapsed.

From Boom to Bust in Three Scandalous Years

The Great Unravelling

Robin Wells

Los docentes que dan cursos de introducción a la Microeconomía y a la Macroeconomía suelen preguntarse cómo se debería enseñar Economía en un curso básico, cómo deberían ser utilizados los fundamentos del análisis económico y cómo deberían aplicarse para entender el mundo real. Las obras de Krugman y Wells responden satisfactoriamente a estas cuestiones como ningunos otros manuales en el mercado actual. Los libros destacan por ser unos manuales inteligentes e incisivos, y porque relacionan de una manera espléndida la teoría con el mundo real, todo ello dentro de un marco de rigor y sencillez. Entre sus virtudes se pueden citar las siguientes: -Se utilizan herramientas matemáticas sencillas para presentar los fundamentos de la teoría económica. -El temario es exhaustivo e incluye todos los temas micro y macroeconómicos actuales. -Los gráficos utilizados son muy esclarecedores y sustituyen eficazmente el rigor matemático de los fundamentos de la teoría económica. -La presentación es dinámica, haciendo que el estudiante interactúe con el texto e incitándole a que interprete los hechos cotidianos en términos económico. Las obras de Microeconomía y Macroeconomía responden satisfactoriamente tanto a las exigencias de los alumnos como de los docentes. Dado que la metodología de enseñanza en la Unión Europea seguirá las directrices de Bolonia, estos manuales serán una herramienta utilísima para la puesta en práctica de este tipo de enseñanza.

Strategic Trade Policy and the New International Economics

Nobel-Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman argues that business leaders need to understand the differences between economic policy on the national and international scale and business strategy on the organizational scale. Economists deal with the closed system of a national economy, whereas executives live in the open-system world of business. Moreover, economists know that an economy must be run on the basis of general principles, but businesspeople are forever in search of the particular brilliant strategy. Krugman's article serves to elucidate the world of economics for businesspeople who are so close to it and yet are continually frustrated by what they see. Since 1922, Harvard Business Review has been a leading source of breakthrough management ideas-many of which still speak to and influence us today. The Harvard Business Review Classics series now offers readers the opportunity to make these seminal pieces a part of your permanent management library. Each highly readable volume contains a groundbreaking idea that continues to shape best practices and inspire countless managers around the world-and will have a direct impact on you today and for years to come.

A Country is Not a Company

Un paese non è un'azienda
