From Publishers Weekly
Economist and New York Times writer Krugman expands on the angry-liberal economic perspective of his newspaper columns, documenting the shrinking of the middle class and the increase in American economic inequality with statistics and well-chosen examples. Krugman's polemic is read by soap-opera actor Culp with unassuming ease. Culp reads like he imagines an economics professor might sound, but jazzes up the learning with a bit of actorly pizzazz. Having never met a sentence he didn't like, Culp turns Krugman's pessimistic diatribe into an oddly jaunty march through economic theory. This isn't necessarily a bad thing; Culp's voice is pleasant and makes for a nice accompaniment to Krugman's tome. Without him, consciences might not have been quite so stirred. Simultaneous release with the W.W. Norton hardcover (Reviews, Sept. 17).

Product Description
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.
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 and shows that neither the American middle-class nor the baby boomers grew up in 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.
The Conscience of a Liberal promises to reshape public debate about American social policy and become a touchstone work for an entire generation.
首先请诸位千万别误解我的意思。克鲁格曼的文章从来都很深刻很尖锐,但是我不得不说的是,翻译的水平实在是太差了。 十分怀疑刘波小朋友只是用简单的谷歌翻译再稍加润色一下就拿来发表了,而且更加意外的是出版社的众位啊编辑们竟然也就这么糊里糊涂的给印了。 错误累赘的翻译...
評分经济学科班出身的人大抵都有自由主义倾向。尤其在一个饱受政府之害的国家,自由主义精神更是必然会有极为广阔的市场。因此我相信,中国的经济学人在看克鲁格曼《美国怎么了——一个自由主义者的良知》(The Conscience of a Liberal)时大多和我一样,或多或少地会感到不舒服。...
