Paul Krugman’s
provocative bi-weekly New York Times columns and his monthly
columns in Fortune Magazine and Slate are keenly
followed by millions of readers. A professor of Economics and
International Studies at Princeton University and one of the world’s
most respected economists, Krugman has been named America’s most
important columnist by the Washington Monthly and columnist
of the year by Editor and Publisher magazine. He visits
the Revelle Forum to discuss his new book, The Great Unraveling:
Losing Our Way In The New Century, which contains some of
his most influential columns along with new commentary. Krugman
chronicles how the boom economy of the 1990s unraveled: how exuberance
gave way to pessimism, how the age of corporate heroes gave way
to corporate scandals, and how fiscal responsibility collapsed.
From his account of the secret history of the California energy
crisis to his dissections of the current political environment,
Krugman offers his own penetrating assessment about how the United
States has lost its way.
