Contra los zombis

Nobody like Paul Krugman to get closer to the main economic concepts and ideas that drive much of our public policies and to lucidly explain often confusing economic problems. In Against the Zombies, Krugman brings together more than ninety articles in eighteen sections organized thematically and framed in the context of a larger debate. In them he addresses topics such as social security, health care, the 2008 financial crisis and its aftermath, the myths of austerity, the European economy, tax cuts, trade wars, inequality, climate change and, on all, the damage inflicted by Donald Trump. Many of the pieces are strong arguments against the zombie economy, "an idea that should have been eliminated by the evidence, but refuses to die." Against the Zombies is Krugman in his purest form and an indispensable guide to political and economic discourse for two decades in the United States and around the world. With quick and vivid brushstrokes, Krugman provides his readers with the keys they need to unlock the concepts behind the major economic policy problems of our time.
