Summary
Paul Krugman: End this depression. Now!
Nobel Prize winner in economics, Paul Krugman, in this powerful and accessible book, analyzes the causes and consequences of the global economic crisis, with a special emphasis on the wrong austerity policies that deepened the recession around the world.
Krugman argues that the solution to the crisis is simple, but requires political will to act - increasing public spending, investing in infrastructure and supporting employment. The book is both a critique of neoliberal policy and a call to reason and urgent action, aimed at getting out of the "depression" that was not inevitable.
A must-read for anyone interested in contemporary economics, politics and the social consequences of financial decisions.
