Paul Krugman has at least three jobs: he is professor of economics and international affairs at Princeton University; Centenary Professor at the London School of Economics; and, perhaps his best-known job, an op-ed columnist for the New York Times. In recognition of his influence the Washington Monthly called him “the most important political columnist in America.”
What has gone wrong with America? With The Conscience of a Liberal, best-selling author Paul Krugman points the way to a new New Deal.
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 - a movement whose founding manifesto was Barry Goldwater's The Conscience of a Conservative. That movement has been highly successful in turning the clock back: both the inequality of today's America and the corruption of its political life hark back to the age of the robber barons.
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, from the political economy of the Gilded Age - which seems all too familiar these days - to the calamities of the Bush years, which he argues were inevitable once movement conservatives gained full control of the U.S. government. He shows that neither the middle-class America the baby boomers grew up in nor 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. He explains how defenders of inequality have exploited cultural and racial divisions to their advantage, while reformers have found ways to bridge those divisions. And he argues that the time is ripe for another great era of reform.
Last but not least, The Conscience of a Liberal outlines a program for change. It shows how universal health care can be the centerpiece of a new New Deal, just as Social Security was the core of the original. It explains what can be done to narrow the wealth and income gap. And it shows how a new political coalition can both support and be supported by reform, making our society not just more equal but more democratic.

評分我是聽Audiobook,聽到1/4,遠在FDR的New Deal之前,美國的財富分配體係已經開始極端化瞭,於是1929年大危機齣現瞭。 FDR的應對方法就是增強social welfare來改善收入分配,而針對更加不平均的財富占有體係,對應的方法就是徵收高額的遺産稅。 可惜的是FDR的政策並沒有很好的貫...
評分如果直譯書名,The Conscience of a Liberal應該是《一個自由主義者的良心》,颱灣的時報齣版社的譯名《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。 剋魯曼(Paul Krugman)是今屆諾貝爾經濟學獎得主,平日看信報或者New York Tim...
