As middle-class incomes stagnate in advanced economies while the rich experience record income gains, the eleventh semi-annual Munk Debate pits wealth redistribution supporters Paul Krugman and George Papandreou against Newt Gingrich and Arthur Laffer to debate taxation — should the rich pay more? For some the answer is obvious: redistribute the wealth of the top income earners who have enjoyed, for almost a generation, the lion’s share of all income gains. Imposing higher taxes on the wealthy is the best way for countries such as Canada to reinvest in their social safety nets, education, and infrastructure while protecting the middle class. Others argue that anemic economic growth, not income inequality, is the real problem facing advanced countries. In a globalized economy, raising taxes on society’s wealth creators leads to capital flight, falling government revenues, and less money for the poor. These same voices contend that lowering taxes on everyone stimulates innovation and investment, fuelling future prosperity. In this edition of the Munk Debates — Canada’s premier international debate series — Nobel Prize–winning economist Paul Krugman and former Prime Minster of Greece George Papandreou square off against former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Newt Gingrich and famed economist Arthur Laffer to debate if the rich should bear the brunt of higher taxes. For the first time ever, this stimulating debate, which will take place in front of a sold-out audience, will be available in print. With advanced countries facing overextended social services, crumbling infrastructure, and sluggish economic growth, the Munk Debate on economic inequality tackles the essential public policy issue: Should we tax the rich more?

Korean edition of THE RETURN OF DEPRESSION ECONOMICS AND THE CRISIS OF 2008. The Nobel Economics Laureate Paul Krugman takes a close look at the subject of depression economics the same way he did with his analysis of the 1999 Asian and Latin America economic crisis. This time, outdated regulations and an unmonitored financial system are at the center of the crisis. Krugman''s writing is lucid and well researched.

¿Por qué en economía ciertas ideas se consolidan mientras que otras son descartadas? Paul Krugman sostiene que la reticencia de los economistas a pensar sobre los temas difíciles de formalizar les ha llevado a ignorar ideas que han resultado ser, retrospectivamente, muy buenas. Krugman examina la evolución de la geografía económica y de la teoría del desarrollo económico con la intención de entender la naturaleza de la investigación económica. El autor describe cómo la teoría del desarrollo perdió su enorme influencia y prácticamente desapareció del discurso económico al quedar patente que algunas de sus principales constataciones no podían modelarse con claridad. Parece que la geografía económica tuvo un sino aún peor, al evitar los economistas todos los temas relacionados con el espacio porque no se adaptaban a los instrumentos disponibles. El libro de Krugman no es, sin embargo, una llamada al abandono de los modelos económicos. Por el contrario, explica por qué vale la pena insistir en la construcción de modelos económicos aunque esto fuerce ocasionalmente a los economistas a desechar buenas ideas. En paralelo con este análisis, Krugman ofrece una visión panorámica de los avances más recientes en geografía económica y teoría del desarrollo económico.

Nadie como Paul Krugman para acercarnos a los principales conceptos económicos y las ideas que mueven gran parte de nuestras políticas públicas y para explicar con lucidez problemas económicos a menudo confusos. En Contra los zombis, Krugman reúne más de noventa artículos —muchos publicados en The New York Times— en dieciocho secciones organizadas temáticamente y enmarcadas en el contexto de un debate más amplio. En ellas aborda temas como la seguridad social, la atención médica, la crisis financiera de 2008 y sus secuelas, los mitos de la austeridad, la economía europea, los recortes de impuestos, las guerras comerciales, la desigualdad, el cambio climático y, sobre todo, el daño infligido por Donald Trump. Muchas de las piezas son argumentos contundentes contra la economía zombi, «una idea que debería haber sido eliminada por la evidencia, pero que se niega a morir». Contra los zombis es Krugman en estado puro y una guía indispensable para el discurso político y económico de dos décadas en los Estados Unidos y en todo el mundo. Con pinceladas rápidas y vívidas, Krugman aporta a sus lectores las claves necesarias para desbloquear los conceptos ocultos tras los principales problemas de política económica de nuestro tiempo.

Iris Au and Jack Parkinson of the University of Toronto, Scarborough have "Canadianized" the Macroeconomics section of Krugman/Wells, Economics, Third Edition, maintaining the structure and spirit of the U.S. version but adapting it to reflect Canadian macroeconomic policies and to appeal more directly to Canadian instructors and students. In almost every instance, U.S. data sets, cases, research, and policy discussions have been supplanted by Canadian material.
