書籍簡介

過去的二十年是美國經濟令人失望的時期。這段時期也是激烈的經濟辯論時期，因為不同的意識形態在爭奪政策影響力。但是，在經濟思想獲得權力的過程中，奇怪的事情發生了:它們被政策企業家——或左或右的經濟騙子推銷員——劫持了，這些人為棘手的問題提供簡單的答案。供給學派在羅納德?里根(Ronald Reagan)的領導下上台，不僅沒有解決任何問題，還留下了3萬億美元的債務。克魯格曼在克林頓政府的政策制定者身上發現了一個不愉快的相似之處。

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.

媒體推薦

在生動的十個章節中，克魯格曼追溯了寬鬆的經濟思想是如何再導致錯誤的政府政策的。在這個過程中，他提供了美國近代*好的入門讀物。——《新聞週刊》

In ten lively chapters, Krugman traces how loose economic thinking has repeatedly led to wrongheaded government policies. In the process, he offers the best primer around on recent US economic history. -- Newsweek
