As stock markets gyrate, Europe lurches from crisis to crisis, and recovery in the United States slows, the future of the North American economy is more uncertain than ever. Can individual entrepreneurship, corporate innovation, and governments create a new era of sustained economic growth? Or, will the ongoing financial crisis, political dysfunction in the United States, and the rise of emerging nations erode living standards in North America for the long term?
In this edition of the Munk Debates -- Canada's premier international debate series -- Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman and former Chief Economist at the Bank of America-Merrill Lynch David Rosenberg square off against former director of President Obama’s National Economic Council Lawrence Summers and bestselling author Ian Bremmer to tackle the resolution: Be it resolved North America faces a Japan-style era of high unemployment and slow growth.
This riveting debate features four of the world's most renowned economists discussing the single most important issue facing all North Americans in a lively, engaging forum. The economy is a concern that demands our immediate attention and this enlightening and hugely important debate is a must-read for all of us.
«Questo libro racconta la lotta per la verità, la giustizia e la mentalità antizombie. Non so se sarà mai possibile vincere, ma è sicuramente una causa per cui vale la pena combattere.»
Quella del Premio Nobel Paul Krugman è una delle voci più autorevoli al mondo in campo economico: i suoi libri e i suoi editoriali sono tradotti in decine di lingue, e ovunque non mancano di suscitare dibattito, polemiche, discussioni. Ma lo studioso è allo stesso tempo un popolare divulgatore capace di spiegare con semplicità le teorie economiche più complesse, e di svelare cosa si cela dietro le scelte a volte poco comprensibili di governi e multinazionali. In questo suo ultimo, atteso libro, Krugman affronta i temi decisivi al centro del dibattito pubblico dei nostri giorni: il ruolo futuro dell’Unione europea, i rischi della Brexit, le nuove strategie commerciali delle potenze mondiali; e senza mancare di offrire soluzioni originali e commenti taglienti, si scaglia contro i sovranismi e i populismi su entrambe le sponde dell’Atlantico, mette in guardia dalle riforme dell’amministrazione Trump nell’anno delle elezioni presidenziali, e con coraggio sfata tutte quelle convinzioni che le evidenze avrebbero dovuto definitivamente far mettere da parte decenni se non secoli fa, e che invece continuano a sopravvivere come zombie e a divorare il cervello di commentatori, intellettuali e di molti, troppi politici.
À l’heure où les inégalités explosent et où les politiques d’austérité aggravent encore la situation des plus démunis, Paul Krugman, célèbre éditorialiste du New York Times et prix Nobel d’économie, dénonce la dérive du Parti républicain, devenu caricatural et malhonnête. Un phénomène délétère auquel on doit l’élection de Donald Trump en 2016 et son éventuelle réélection en 2020.
Paul Krugman révèle ainsi une série de manipulations politiques, tels le déni du changement climatique, les tentatives de baisser les impôts des plus riches, les attaques de mauvaise foi contre l’Obamacare – et plus généralement contre la protection sociale –, ou encore l’instrumentalisation du racisme des classes populaires blanches.
Ces analyses particulièrement décapantes sur l’Amérique d’aujourd’hui sonnent comme un véritable appel au combat : « Il est encore temps de se battre pour la vérité et pour la justice en éradiquant toutes les idées-zombies. »

Wielding his widely recognized powers of explanation, Paul Krugman lays bare the hidden facts behind the $2 trillion tax cut.
With huge budget surpluses just ahead, the question of whether to cut taxes has shifted to when? and by how much? With Fuzzy Math, Paul Krugman dissects the Bush tax proposal and shows us who wins, who loses, and how quickly the tax cuts will consume the surplus. Always the equal-opportunity critic when it comes to faulty economics, Krugman also tucks into the Democratic alternatives to the Bush plan.
This little book packs a big wallop. Together with major media appearances, it puts Krugman's wisdom and steely-eyed analysis firmly at the center of the debate about how to spend upwards of $2 trillion. It may very well change the course of history.
