Warum manche Ideen aus Politik und Wirtschaft nicht totzukriegen sind
In Talkshows, Leitartikeln, Büchern tauchen sie immer wieder wirtschaftspolitische Thesen, die beliebt sind, einleuchtend klingen und seit Jahrzehnten immer wieder hervorgekramt werden. Das Problem ist Sie sind falsch! Den Kampf gegen diese Mythen hat sich Wirtschafts-Nobelpreisträger Paul Krugman auf die Fahnen geschrieben. In "Kampf den Zombies" geht er klug, geistreich und bewaffnet mit Fakten gegen diese Irrtümer an. Die hier versammelten Artikel seiner beliebten New York Times-Kolumne decken eine breite Themenpalette Mängel im Gesundheitswesen, die Entstehung von Immobilienblasen, der Sinn und Unsinn von Steuerreformen, die Bedeutung sozialer Sicherheit für den Zusammenhalt einer Gesellschaft … Die Zeit ist reif für eine Versachlichung politischer Debatten und eine Konzentration auf Fakten statt Mythen.
An accessible, compelling introduction to today's major policy issues from columnist, best-selling author and Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman. There is no better guide than Paul Krugman to basic economics, the ideas that animate much of our public policy. Likewise, there is no better foe of zombie economics, the misunderstandings that just won't die. Arguing with Zombies is Krugman "the most hated and most admired columnist in the US" (Martin Wolf, Financial Times) at his best, turning readers into intelligent consumers of the daily news with quick, vivid sketches of the key concepts behind taxes, health care, international trade and more. In this new book, in which he builds on and expands his The New York Times columns and other writings, "the most celebrated economist of his generation" (The Economist), offers short, accessible chapters on topics including the European Union and Brexit, the fight for national health care in the United States, the financial meltdown of 2007-2008, the attack on Social Security and the fraudulent argument--the ultimate zombie--that tax cuts for the rich will benefit all. -- publisher's website

Alfred Marshall, the founder of modern economics, once described economics as 'the study of mankind in the ordinary business of earning a living'. In Economics for the Curious, 12 Nobel Laureates show that 'the ordinary business of earning a living' covers a wide range of activities, as they take readers on an engaging tour of some of the everyday issues that can be explored using basic economic principles. Written in the plainest possible language, Nobel Laureates including Paul Krugman, Eric Maskin, Finn E. Kydland and Vernon Smith confront some of the key issues challenging society today – challenges that claim attention in any phase of the business cycle. The range of topics includes how economic tools can be used to rebuild nations in the aftermath of a war; financing retirement as longevity increases; the sustainable use of natural resources and what governments should really be doing to boost the economy. Economics for the Curious is an accessible but informative display of the kinds of questions economics can illuminate. It will appeal to anyone who has an interest in economics and the world around them, and we hope it will encourage further interest and study in the topic from readers everywhere.
Sensatez e insensatez económica en una era de expectativas limitadas
Publicada por primera vez en 1994, esta obra vuelve a cobrar relevancia por su crítica a las políticas de austeridad de los gobiernos conservadores. En él, Krugman somete a juicio este modelo del liberalismo así como para reivindicar la figura de Keynes, cuyas ideas siguen aún prevaleciendo.
When it comes to explaining current economic conditions, there is no economist readers trust more than New York Times columnist and Nobel laureate Paul Krugman. Term after term, Krugman is earning that same level of trust in the classroom, with more and more instructors introducing students to the fundamental principles of economics via Krugman's signature storytelling style. The new Third Edition of Paul Krugman and Robin Wells's Economics is their most accomplished yet-extensively updated to offer new examples and stories, new case studies from the business world, and expert coverage of the ongoing financial crisis.
Krugman e Wells hanno costruito questo libro a partire da storie che illustrano i concetti economici e affrontano al contempo le preoccupazioni con cui ci confrontiamo come individui che vivono in un mondo plasmato dalle forze economiche. La seconda edizione italiana di Microeconomia è ancora più ricca di strumenti didattici. Ogni capitolo si chiude con un Riepilogo breve ma completo delle parole e dei concetti fondamentali. A questo seguono un elenco di Parole chiave con un rimando alla pagina in cui è fornita la definizione e un gruppo di Esercizi.
Paul Krugman, Premio Nobel de Economía, ha escrito un libro realmente extraordinario en que las causas de la actual crisis económica, los motivos que conducen a que sigamos sufriendo hoy sus consecuencias y la forma de salir de ella, recuperando los puestos de trabajo y los derechos sociales amenazados por los recortes, se explican con una claridad y sencillez que cualquiera puede, y debería, entender. “Naciones ricas en recursos, talento y conocimientos –los ingredientes necesarios para alcanzar la prosperidad y un nivel de vida decente para todos- se encuentran en un estado de intenso sufrimiento”. ¿Cómo llegamos a esta situación? Y, sobre todo ¿cómo podemos salir de ella? Krugman plantea estas cuestiones con su habitual lucidez y nos ofrece la evidencia de que una pronta recuperación es posible, si nuestros dirigentes tienen “la claridad intelectual y la voluntad política” de acabar ya con esta crisis.
Deutschland hat die Krise nicht verstanden, sagt Nobelpreisträger Paul Krugman. Sein neues Buch ist eine leidenschaftliche Anklage gegen die europäische und insbesondere die deutsche Sparpolitik. Er erklärt, dass Staaten, die reich sind an Ressourcen, Talent und Wissen - den wesentlichen Zutaten für Wohlstand und einen anständigen allgemeinen Lebensstandard -, in der jetzigen Lage nur durch Investitionen, also weitere Schulden auf Zukunftskurs steuern können. Eine schnelle und deutliche Erholung ist in greifbarer Nähe - einzig es fehlt die politische Weichenstellung. Krugmans Weckruf lautet: Wir sparen uns zu Tode! »Merkels Gegner und wie sie die Welt sehen« Die Zeit
C'est un cri lancé à ceux qui nous gouvernent. "Sortez-nous de cette crise !" tonne Paul Krugman, l'éditorialiste du New York Times et Prix Nobel d'économie 2008. Il est clair, selon lui, que les gouvernements occidentaux n'apportent toujours pas les réponses efficaces à la dépression historique déclenchée à l'automne 2008. "L'orgueil et les préjugés rendent les dirigeants incapables de voir ce qui devrait pourtant être limpide..." Il faut abandonner la politique d'austérité, "dépenser maintenant et payer plus tard", taxer les hauts revenus, lutter prioritairement contre le chômage et les inégalités, et soutenir les populations endettées. En un mot, renouer avec une stratégie keynésienne qui suppose davantage d'inflation. Dans son style accessible et humoristique, Krugman offre un essai important qui retrace l'histoire de la crise, expliquant la montée de la dérégulation financière et comment les élites politiques et les économistes néo-classiques ont étouffé toute approche hétérodoxe. Il formule des propositions concrètes pour sortir du marasme économique et social, comme lutter contre la trappe à liquidité, éviter le credit crunch, et rappeler qu'une politique de sortie de crise doit viser à réduire la valeur de la dette plutôt qu'à la rembourser. Une analyse pragmatique et résolument engagée.
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 Chief Economist and Strategist at Gluskin Sheff + Associates David Rosenberg square off against former director of President Obama’s National Economic Council Lawrence Summers and bestselling author Ian Bremmer to tackle the Be it resolved North America faces a Japan-style era of high unemployment and slow growth.
A call-to-arms from Nobel Prize?winning economist and best-selling author 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.

Dieses Buch ist mehr als eine düstere Bestandsaufnahme der amerikanischen Wirtschaft: Es ist eine eindrucksvolle Abrechnung mit der Bush-Regierung, der Krugman nicht nur Unvermögen, sondern auch eiskalte Interessenpolitik vorwirft. Das kaltschnäuzige Vorgehen im Interesse der reichen republikanischen Wählerklientel wird von ihm in diesem wütenden und wichtigen Werk als Revolution von rechts gegeißelt. Im amerikanischen Wahljahr 2004 wird die Wirtschaftspolitik der US-Regierung im Mittelpunkt der öffentlichen Aufmerksamkeit stehen. Dies ist das Buch zum Thema.

Esta coleccion recoge todas aquellas obras escritas con la voluntad de superar los estrechos limites de la especializacion y del enfoque unilateral para ofrecer, desde una reflexion general e interdisciplinar, respuestas a los grandes desafios intelectuales de nuestro tiempo. La distinguen los nombres de John K. Galbraith, Noam Chomsky, Paul Krugman, Marvin Harris, Edward Luttwak, Amelia Valcarcel o Manuel Vazquez Montalban. Paul Krugman nos ofrece un penetrante analisis de la crisis que comenzo en Japon en el verano de 1997 y se extendio posteriormente a Rusia y America Latina, para explicarnos lo sucedido y mostrar que, al igual que sucedio en los anos treinta, la mayor amenaza a que debemos enfrentarnos son las ideas erroneas y las doctrinas caducadas que llenan nuestras mentes.

In this cohesive set of sharp and witty essays, Krugman tackles bad economic ideas from across the political spectrum.
Die Geister der Großen Depression der dreißiger Jahre sind zurück. Könnte sich im kommenden Jahrhundert eine Weltwirtschaftskrise mit ähnlichen katastrophalen Folgen wie der Crash an der New Yorker Börse 1929 wiederholen? Paul Krugman beleuchtet die Ereignisse, die zu den aktuellen Wirtschaftskrisen weltweit führten. Er untersucht den Ausbruch der Deflation in Japan, dem einstigen Wirtschaftswunderland, und die Dominoeffekte des Währungsverfalls in Thailand, Hongkong und Malaysia sowie die Proteste freigesetzter Arbeiter in Südkorea. Zudem analysiert er die Finanzkrise in Russland und deren Auswirkungen auf Brasilien. Auch Chinas wirtschaftlicher Aufschwung könnte ins Wanken geraten. Krugman äußert Zweifel an der Annahme, dass Politiker und Wirtschaftsberater aus der Geschichte gelernt haben. Er fordert kurzfristige wirtschaftliche Eingriffe und warnt, dass der freie Welthandel und Wohlstand gefährdet sind. Ein Übergreifen der asiatischen Krise auf Europa und die USA ist vermeidbar, erfordert jedoch radikale politische Maßnahmen, die über die traditionellen Dogmen hinausgehen. In der aktuellen labilen Situation sind solche Eingriffe unerlässlich.
Depuis les années 1980, des crises de plus en plus graves se sont succédé. Celle de 2008 a mené le système financier au bord de l'effondrement et engendré une récession dans les économies capitalistes. Pourquoi ces catastrophes que l'on croyait révolues reviennent-elles toujours ? Krugman explique ici les ressorts de cette fatalité. Il démontre l'insuffisance des normes prudentielles et met au jour une crise du système lui-même, de sa logique fondée sur la libre circulation et la valorisation des capitaux, alors qu'une prospérité durable supposerait de satisfaire les besoins du plus grand nombre et de distribuer équitablement le pouvoir d'achat. L'auteur souligne une raison fondamentale du retour des crises: l'incapacité à laisser les faits remettre en cause des doctrines libérales erronées.

On attribue souvent à la mondialisation des échanges une bonne partie des maux économiques et sociaux qui frappent nos sociétés. La concurrence entre pays développés est perçue comme une lutte sans merci où les moins dynamiques risquent d'être définitivement éliminés de la course. La désindustrialisation du Nord est attribuée à la concurrence irrésistible du Sud. Au nom de la " compétitivité " de l'économie nationale, on prône les recettes économiques les plus contradictoires, du protectionnisme à la dérégulation totale. Le livre de Paul R. Krugman - qui a trouvé un large public en France après sa première publication en 1998 - balaie de façon extrêmement convaincante ces clichés trop répandus, à droite comme à gauche. L'économie mondiale est un système complexe de relations à effets rétroactifs, pas un enchaînement de causes mécaniques à sens unique. Convaincu qu'on peut simplement parler d'économie sans trahir cette complexité, Paul Krugman s'est donné comme défi d'accomplir pour les arcanes du libre-échange ce que Stephen Jay Gould a réalisé pour les mystères de l'évolution. La limpidité de ses essais et le succès qu'ils ont obtenu aux Etats-Unis, témoignent de la réussite de son ambition.
Economic Sense & Nonsense In An Age Of Diminished Expectations
Newsweek hailed Paul Krugman as "a superstar among economists" and went on to praise Peddling Prosperity as "the best primer around on recent U.S. economic history." Others joined the chorus. This wonderfully received book finds him in top form, observing the years he's dubbed "the age of diminished expectations." The past twenty years have been an era of economic disappointment in the United States. They have also been a time of intense economic debate, as rival ideologies contend for policy influence. But strange things have happened to economic ideas on their way to power: they've been hijacked by policy entrepreneurs―economic snake-oil salesmen, right or left, who offer easy answers to hard problems. Supply-siders rose to power with Ronald Reagan and not only cured nothing but left behind a $3 trillion debt. Krugman finds an unhappy parallel in those who shape policy within the Clinton administration.
The Self-Organizing Economy In the last few years the concept of self-organizing systems―complex systems in which randomness and chaos seem spontaneously to evolve into unexpected order―has linked together researchers in many fields, from artificial intelligence to chemistry, from evolution to geology. Now leading economist Paul Krugman shows how principles that explain the growth of hurricanes and embryos can also explain the formation of cities and business cycles; how the same principles of “order from random growth” can explain the strangely simple rules that describe the sizes of earthquakes, meteorites, and metropolitan areas. Weaving together strands from many disciplines, from location theory to biology, The Self-Organizing Economy offers a surprising new view of how the economy structures itself in space and time.
Over the past decade, a small group of economists has challenged traditional wisdom about international trade. Rethinking International Trade provides a coherent account of this research program and traces the key steps in an exciting new trade theory that offers, among other possibilities, new arguments against free trade. Over the past decade a small group of economists has challenged traditional wisdom about international trade. Rethinking International Trade provides a coherent account of this research program and traces the key steps in an exciting new trade theory that offers, among other possibilities, new arguments against free trade. Krugman's introduction is a valuable guide to research that has delved anew into the causes of international trade and reopened basic questions about the international pattern of specialization, the effects of protectionism, and what constitutes an optimal trade policy. In the four sections that follow, he takes a revisionary look at the causes of international trade, and discusses growth and the role of history, technological change and trade, and strategic trade policy.
Paul Krugman's essential guide to the economic landscape of the 1990s has been revised and updated to include a new introduction in which Krugman connects George Bush's fall from office to simmering dismay over a long-term economic slowdown. There is a new chapter on international finance that focuses primarily on European monetary affairs, and a new chapter on health care that examines why costs have exploded and explains how managed competition and alternative systems would work, and why it is so difficult to control rising health care costs. There are smaller additions throughout the rest of the book. These include: - a discussion of how people misunderstand the relationship between productivity and competitiveness; - the very minor industrial policy proposals that have been made thus far; - new data reflecting even larger gains for the wealthy than have been thought; - a prediction that Clinton's tax plan will have only a small impact; - a discussion of the junk bond market collapse; - and the startling productivity numbers for 1992. Discussions of unemployment and the trade deficit take into account that unemployment has risen, and there is a new section on how the Federal Reserve fumbled, as well as a new assessment of financial markets in light of the recession.
This new collection revolves around Krugman's work on international monetary economics from the late 1970s to the present in an effort to make sense of a turbulent period that "involved one surprise after another, most of them unpleasant."
