About this ebook
A New York Times best-selling call to arms from Nobel Prize–winning economist Paul Krugman.
The Great Recession is more than four years old—and counting. Yet, as Paul Krugman points out in this powerful volley, "Nations rich in resources, talent, and knowledge—all the ingredients for prosperity and a decent standard of living for all—remain in a state of intense pain."
How bad have things gotten? How did we get stuck in what now can only be called a depression? And above all, how do we free ourselves? Krugman pursues these questions with his characteristic lucidity and insight. He has a powerful message for anyone who has suffered over these past four years—a quick, strong recovery is just one step away, if our leaders can find the "intellectual clarity and political will" to end this depression now.

Well Krugman looks pretty silly now, no matter how much Obama spent the
economy went down the toilet, and Donald Trump came along, cut taxes and
now the economy is pushing 4% growth with rising real wages - but seriously
if you want to know what not to do - read this book.

If you really believe as Krugman does that central banks can just print us back into prosperity without consequence, you are in for a rude awakening once the Euro crisis crosses the Atlantic

I really appreciated the first 30 pages of this book until Google cut me off and did not allow me to complete the copy I had paid for. Is there a time limit to finish these?
