DOWNLOAD EBOOKA 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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhat better guide could we have to the 2008 financial crisis and its resolution than the newest Nobel Laureate in Economics, columnist and author Paul Krugman? In a dazzling and prescient polemic, now fully update from his 1999 classic, Krugman shows how today's situation parallels the events that caused the Great Depression. He surveys the economic crises that swept across Asia, Russia and Latin America in the 1990s, and reveals that those crises were a warning for all of us. Now depression economics has returned: when the great housing bubble of the mid-2000s burst, the Western financial system proved as vulnerable as those of developing countries caught up in earlier crises - and a replay of the 1930s seems all top possible. Krugman shows how it happened and lays out the steps that must be taken to turn around a world economy sliding into a deep recession. Brilliantly crafted in his trademark style - lucid, lively, and supremely informed - this will become a cornerstone of the debate over how to respond to our current economic predicament. 'A lucid and punchy analysis of the dangers posed by global financial markets and a wake-up call for complacent or economically ignorant policymakers' ECONOMIST 'One of the world's most talented economists . . . his combination of wit and clarity makes him a true heir to Keynes' INDEPENDENT 'Unlikely to be rivalled in its lucidity . . . a rattling good read' FINANCIAL TIMES

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPlease note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In 2003, Robert Lucas, a professor at the University of Chicago, gave the presidential address at the American Economic Association’s annual meetings. He declared that the central problem of depression prevention had been solved, and that modern macroeconomic policy had reduced the problem to the point that it was more of a nuisance than a front-rank issue. #2 The collapse of socialism happened in China in 1978, and was reflected around the world in the 1990s. The effects were favorable to the political and ideological dominance of capitalism. #3 The collapse of the Soviet Union had many positive effects, but the most significant was that it allowed millions of people living under Marxist regimes to become citizens of states prepared to give markets a chance. #4 For the first time since 1917, we live in a world where property rights and free markets are viewed as fundamental principles, not grudging expedients. The unpleasant aspects of a market system are accepted as facts of life.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKLessons from the Great Depression provides an integrated view of the depression, covering the experience in Britain, France, Germany, and the United States. Do events of the 1930s carry a message for the 1990s? Lessons from the Great Depression provides an integrated view of the depression, covering the experience in Britain, France, Germany, and the United States. It describes the causes of the depression, why it was so widespread and prolonged, and what brought about eventual recovery. Peter Temin also finds parallels in recent history, in the relentless deflationary course followed by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board and the British government in the early 1980s, and in the dogged adherence by the Reagan administration to policies generated by a discredited economic theory—supply-side economics.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom the Nobel Prize–winning economist and former chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve, a landmark book that provides vital lessons for understanding financial crises and their sometimes-catastrophic economic effects As chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve during the Global Financial Crisis, Ben Bernanke helped avert a greater financial disaster than the Great Depression. And he did so by drawing directly on what he had learned from years of studying the causes of the economic catastrophe of the 1930s—work for which he was later awarded the Nobel Prize. Essays on the Great Depression brings together Bernanke’s influential work on the origins and economic lessons of the Depression, and this new edition also includes his Nobel Prize lecture.
