Paul Krugman has at least three jobs: he is professor of economics and international affairs at Princeton University; Centenary Professor at the London School of Economics; and, perhaps his best-known job, an op-ed columnist for the New York Times.

What has gone wrong with America? With The Conscience of a Liberal, best-selling author Paul Krugman points the way to a new New Deal.

America emerged from Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal with strong democratic values and broadly shared prosperity. But for the past thirty years American politics has been dominated by a conservative movement determined to undermine the New Deal's achievements - a movement whose founding manifesto was Barry Goldwater's The Conscience of a Conservative. That movement has been highly successful in turning the clock back: both the inequality of today's America and the corruption of its political life hark back to the age of the robber barons.

Now the tide may be turning - and in The Conscience of a Liberal Paul Krugman, the world's most widely read economist and one of its most influential political commentators, charts the way to reform.

Krugman ranges over a century of history, from the political economy of the Gilded Age - which seems all too familiar these days - to the calamities of the Bush years, which he argues were inevitable once movement conservatives gained full control of the U.S. government. He shows that neither the middle-class America the baby boomers grew up in nor the increasingly oligarchic nation we have become over the past generation evolved naturally: both were created, to a large extent, by government policies guided by organized political movements. He explains how defenders of inequality have exploited cultural and racial divisions to their advantage, while reformers have found ways to bridge those divisions. And he argues that the time is ripe for another great era of reform.

Last but not least, The Conscience of a Liberal outlines a program for change. It shows how universal health care can be the centerpiece of a new New Deal, just as Social Security was the core of the original. It explains what can be done to narrow the wealth and income gap. And it shows how a new political coalition can both support and be supported by reform, making our society not just more equal but more democratic.

开国总统华盛顿是联邦主义者,那时美国还没有党派。 美国最早的党派联邦党和民主共和党。起源是当时的财政部长汉密尔和国务卿杰弗逊顿政见不和,汉密尔顿的支持者组成了联邦党,后来在1791年,杰弗逊的支持者组成了民主共和党。 1796年的大选,亚当斯击败杰弗逊,成为了第一...

如果直譯書名,The Conscience of a Liberal應該是《一個自由主義者的良心》,台灣的時報出版社的譯名《下一個榮景:政治如何搭救經濟》,跟英文書名風馬牛不相及,大概是因為怕直譯書名會趕客吧。      克魯曼(Paul Krugman)是今屆諾貝爾經濟學獎得主,平日看信報或者...

因为周末读书会有译者刘波来讲,所以事先准备一下。 因为是本畅销书,所以克鲁格曼一开始就讲出了基本观点:政治的两极分化导致了政策的移动,从而导致了不平等的加剧。而克氏的政治影响力远强于市场倡导者的想象的主张,实际上重新引出了凯恩斯主义的话题。对于译者“精英”...

题目把严肃的作品变成小摊文学 这个老左写的不错,把复杂事情简单化,读起来象推理小说。      这是我从头到尾看完的第一本左派的书。这么一个比罗尔斯还聪明的人,怎么会是一个左派啊?

不如他的blog好看。不过在左派经济学家中,克鲁格曼是少数能在学术上与自由主义经济学比肩的人;至少曾经是。

一个自由派角度的美国两党政治史叙述。作者的观点虽然比较一边倒,但是有着作为公共知识分子的良心。完全自由化的市场经济其实在世界任何一个国家都得不到实行,可是过度被政府控制的经济体系又会出现严重的利益分配不公正问题。总之,政治经济学,是需要用历史的眼光来研究的。
