Learn Macroeconomics from Paul Krugman

Posted by admin on 10.23.08 12:09PM under the dismal page

I admire The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel-winning Paul Krugman’s work, especially since I heard him on ‘Fresh Air’ the other day agreeing with me that Alan Greenspan helped cause our current financial ‘opportunities’ by continuing the free market orgy and shutting down any attempts at regulation (I’ve got your invisible hand right HERE—and don’t get me started on derivatives).

I was looking around on my bookshelves yesterday (for a Gary Becker book(!)) and realized I have most of Krugman’s books (ok, I don’t think I’ve read them all yet).

I found some PDFs of his Fall 1998 lectures at MIT:

I want a Krugman trading card to add to my collection. Come to think of it, Jeffrey Sachs is missing too.

UPDATE: OK, one book I don’t have. His latest: The Great Unraveling. Since I heard the interview on “Fresh Air,” I used NPR’s link to Amazon, so if you buy the book you’ll be helping Paul Krugman and NPR.
