内容简介 在线阅读本书
本书是美国著名经济学家克鲁格曼的最新力作。他在书中回顾了将近一个世纪的美国历史，从镀金年代的政治经济，直到布什年代的经济停滞。他认为，这是保守主义运动掌控美国政府的必然结果，婴儿潮时代美国中产阶级的成长则是受益于小罗斯福的新政。克鲁格曼指出，这两种方向的发展都非自然演进的结果，都是由组织化的政治运动所引导的，尤其是20世纪70年代以后不断加剧的两极分化和社会不公。他在书中深入地探讨了美国主张自由放任资本主义的“保守主义运动”对美国经济、社会和政治的不良影响，呼吁重新展开社会政策的公共辩论，主张政府应发挥好维护社会稳定和社会公正的作用，同时警醒世人不要冷漠对待社会经济不平等议题，以致错失改革良机。
This wholly original new work by the best-selling author of The Great Unraveling challenges America to reclaim the values that made it great.With this major new volume, Paul Krugman, today's most widely read economist, studies the past eighty years of American history, from the reforms that tamed the harsh inequality of the Gilded Age to the unraveling of that achievement and the reemergence of immense economic and political inequality since the 1970s. Seeking to understand both what happened to middle-class America and what it will take to achieve a "new New Deal," Krugman has created his finest book to date, a work that weaves together a nuanced account of three generations of history with sharp political, social, and economic analysis. This book, written with Krugman's trademark ability to explain complex issues simply, will transform the debate about American social policy in much the same way as did John Kenneth Galbraith's deeply influential book,
The Affluent Society.

The Conscience of a Conservative did right-wingers in 1964. Krugman's great theme is economic equality and the liberal politics that support it. America's post-war middle-class society was not the automatic product of a free-market economy, he writes, but was created... by the policies of the Roosevelt Administration. By strengthening labor unions and taxing the rich to fund redistributive programs like Social Security and Medicare, the New Deal consensus narrowed the income gap, lifted the working class out of poverty and made the economy boom. Things went awry, Krugman contends, with the Republican Party's takeover by movement conservatism, practicing a politics of deception [and] distraction to advance the interests of the wealthy. Conservative initiatives to cut taxes for the rich, dismantle social programs and demolish unions, he argues, have led to sharply rising inequality, with the incomes of the wealthiest soaring while those of most workers stagnate. Krugman's accessible, stylishly presented argument deftly combines economic data with social and political analysis; his account of the racial politics driving conservative successes is especially sharp. The result is a compelling historical defense of liberalism and a clarion call for Americans to retake control of their economic destiny.
