Nobel Prize–winning economist Paul Krugman offers an accessible, compelling introduction to today's major policy issues that places them in a context that sparks students' interest.
With clarity and precision, the book tackles many "misunderstandings that just won’t die" (which Krugman calls "zombies"), taking stock of where the United States has come from and where it’s headed. Drawn mainly from the author’s New York Times column, concise, digestible chapters cover a wide range of issues, organized thematically and framed in the context of a wider debate. Topics covered include the complexities of healthcare, housing bubbles, tax reform, Social Security, and more.
