Review

"THE CONSCIENCE OF A LIBERAL....represents Krugman's fullest embrace of his polemical identity....The arguments are brief, clearly organized, and crisply to the point."

"[Krugman's] claims are convincing not only because he discusses complex economic questions with rare lucidity and skill, but also because of who he is. Icon destroyers are most powerful when they hail from within the priestly elite.....[T]hose who turn to Mr. Krugman to understand what's unjust about the United States economy, and why it doesn't have to be this way, will be amply rewarded. And as Democrats seek a rationale not merely for returning to power, but for fundamentally changing--or changing back--the relationship between America's government and its citizens, Mr. Krugman's arguments will prove vital in the months and years ahead."

"THE CONSCIENCE OF A LIBERAL excels when Krugman is giving his trademark crisp, clear surveys of the economic literature....Krugman writes in the tone of as mild-mannered, reasonable professor, rarely getting flustered as he goes about calmly disarming his intellectual opposition."

Publisher's note

A leading economist surveys eighty years of American history to illuminate how efforts to balance economic inequality have been set back since the 1970s, in a critical analysis that cites the challenges being faced by today's middle class and calls for new perspectives about American social policy. 150,000 first printing.

Annotation

Economist Paul Krugman, known for perceptive insights and clarity in writing, examines the history of social reform in America, from the progressive era into the early 21st century, finding that, in recent times, there has been a systematic reversal of the gains made. The result is a growing gap between rich and poor, a society based on selfishness, and a disregard for the common good. He reminds us of just why these advances were necessary and how they were responses to historical necessity. Unless we reconnect to the American values that fostered the social progress of the last century, we will return to a world that is less compassionate and far less equal.
