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.

评分克鲁格曼怎么了? 李华芳 1 经济学界对于克鲁格曼获得2008年诺贝尔经济学奖并不意外,甚至有人打趣说,克鲁格曼应该拿两次诺贝尔奖,一个经济学奖,一个文学奖。这大概是嫉妒其在《纽约时报》的专栏带来的巨大影响力,当然,就文笔而言,克鲁格曼也被《幸福》杂志认...
评分如果直譯書名,The Conscience of a Liberal應該是《一個自由主義者的良心》,台灣的時報出版社的譯名《下一個榮景:政治如何搭救經濟》,跟英文書名風馬牛不相及,大概是因為怕直譯書名會趕客吧。 克魯曼(Paul Krugman)是今屆諾貝爾經濟學獎得主,平日看信報或者...
评分什么叫媒体的超级明星?什么叫智囊团?克鲁格曼算是做了个近似完美的演示。 大量的数据应用分析,历史背景介绍,对民生问题深入简出的全面阐述,玩转自由主义和保守主义在自力行距之间。一路上看下来,总觉得言之有理,却问题颇多。共和党未必像他说的那么一意孤行,民主党的...
评分自从Krugman独得诺奖之后,本地大学图书馆里这本书就被一人接一人紧着预约,受欢迎程度可见一斑。如同前人评论所说,一边读这本给自由主义者的指南针一边就会越来越‘热血沸腾’,不禁拍案痛斥共和党派的种种卑鄙行为,同时恨不得马上洗清自己之前曾经对民主党、左派的主意有过...
