"Pop internationalists" -- people who speak impressively about international trade while ignoring basic economics and misusing economic figures are the target of this collection of Paul Krugman's most recent essays. In the clear, readable, entertaining style that brought acclaim for his best-selling Age of Diminished Expectations, Krugman explains what real economic analysis is. He discusses economic terms and measurements, like "value-added" and GDP, in simple language so that readers can understand how pop internationalists distort, and sometimes contradict, the most basic truths about world trade.All but two of the essays have previously appeared in such publications as Foreign Affairs, Scientific American, and the Harvard Business Review. The first five essays take on exaggerations of foreign competition's effects on the U.S. economy and represent Krugman's central criticisms of public debate over world trade. The next three essays expose further distortions of economic theory and include the complete, unaltered, controversial review of Laura Tyson's Who's Bashing Whom. The third group of essays highlights misconceptions about competition from less industrialized countries. The concluding essays focus on interesting and legitimate economic questions, such as the effects of technological change on society.
Krugman不愧是NYT的专栏作家,可读性非常强,这本书出版时间是1997年,读的时候以为是最近写成的,10年前的预测竟然很多在今天都非常有价值。里面对competition的描述非常符合目前中美贸易战的现状,Krugman无疑是一个自由主义经济学派的坚定支持者,缺陷可能就是忽略了自由主义经济是要建立在监管完备、体制健全的资本市场上的前提,在已经健全的西方法制下用统计研究,自然能得出西方efficiency比亚洲国家更好的结论。
