Paul R. Krugman Libros

Esta coleccion recoge todas aquellas obras escritas con la voluntad de superar los estrechos limites de la especializacion y del enfoque unilateral para ofrecer, desde una reflexion general e interdisciplinar, respuestas a los grandes desafios intelectuales de nuestro tiempo. La distinguen los nombres de John K. Galbraith, Noam Chomsky, Paul Krugman, Marvin Harris, Edward Luttwak, Amelia Valcarcel o Manuel Vazquez Montalban. Paul Krugman nos ofrece un penetrante analisis de la crisis que comenzo en Japon en el verano de 1997 y se extendio posteriormente a Rusia y America Latina, para explicarnos lo sucedido y mostrar que, al igual que sucedio en los anos treinta, la mayor amenaza a que debemos enfrentarnos son las ideas erroneas y las doctrinas caducadas que llenan nuestras mentes.

Publicada por primera vez en 1994, esta obra vuelve a cobrar relevancia por su crítica a las políticas de austeridad de los gobiernos conservadores. En él, Krugman somete a juicio este modelo del liberalismo así como para reivindicar la figura de Keynes, cuyas ideas siguen aún prevaleciendo.

Paul Krugman, Premio Nobel de Economía, ha escrito un libro realmente extraordinario en que las causas de la actual crisis económica, los motivos que conducen a que sigamos sufriendo hoy sus consecuencias y la forma de salir de ella, recuperando los puestos de trabajo y los derechos sociales amenazados por los recortes, se explican con una claridad y sencillez que cualquiera puede, y debería, entender. “Naciones ricas en recursos, talento y conocimientos –los ingredientes necesarios para alcanzar la prosperidad y un nivel de vida decente para todos- se encuentran en un estado de intenso sufrimiento”. ¿Cómo llegamos a esta situación? Y, sobre todo ¿cómo podemos salir de ella? Krugman plantea estas cuestiones con su habitual lucidez y nos ofrece la evidencia de que una pronta recuperación es posible, si nuestros dirigentes tienen “la claridad intelectual y la voluntad política” de acabar ya con esta crisis.

The Self-Organizing Economy In the last few years the concept of self-organizing systems―complex systems in which randomness and chaos seem spontaneously to evolve into unexpected order―has linked together researchers in many fields, from artificial intelligence to chemistry, from evolution to geology. Now leading economist Paul Krugman shows how principles that explain the growth of hurricanes and embryos can also explain the formation of cities and business cycles; how the same principles of “order from random growth” can explain the strangely simple rules that describe the sizes of earthquakes, meteorites, and metropolitan areas. Weaving together strands from many disciplines, from location theory to biology, The Self-Organizing Economy offers a surprising new view of how the economy structures itself in space and time.

Renowned researchers Paul Krugman and Maurice Obstfeld set the standard for international economics courses with the text that remains the market leader in the U.S. and around the world. International Economics: Theory and Policy is a proven approach in which each half of the book leads with an intuitive introduction to theory and follows with self-contained chapters to cover key policy applications. The Eighth Edition integrates the latest research, data, and policy in hot topics such as outsourcing, economic geography, trade and environment, financial derivatives, the subprime crisis, and China's exchange rate policies.

Paul Krugman's essential guide to the economic landscape of the 1990s has been revised and updated to include a new introduction in which Krugman connects George Bush's fall from office to simmering dismay over a long-term economic slowdown. There is a new chapter on international finance that focuses primarily on European monetary affairs, and a new chapter on health care that examines why costs have exploded and explains how managed competition and alternative systems would work, and why it is so difficult to control rising health care costs. There are smaller additions throughout the rest of the book. These include: - a discussion of how people misunderstand the relationship between productivity and competitiveness; - the very minor industrial policy proposals that have been made thus far; - new data reflecting even larger gains for the wealthy than have been thought; - a prediction that Clinton's tax plan will have only a small impact; - a discussion of the junk bond market collapse; - and the startling productivity numbers for 1992. Discussions of unemployment and the trade deficit take into account that unemployment has risen, and there is a new section on how the Federal Reserve fumbled, as well as a new assessment of financial markets in light of the recession.

When it comes to explaining current economic conditions, there is no economist readers trust more than New York Times columnist and Nobel laureate Paul Krugman. Term after term, Krugman is earning that same level of trust in the classroom, with more and more instructors introducing students to the fundamental principles of economics via Krugman's signature storytelling style. The new Third Edition of Paul Krugman and Robin Wells's Economics is their most accomplished yet-extensively updated to offer new examples and stories, new case studies from the business world, and expert coverage of the ongoing financial crisis.

Economics: European Edition is the ideal text for introductory economics, bringing together an international scope of real world examples and economic theory. The text is supported by a number of features to enhance student understanding as well as supplements to consolidate the learning process.

Over the past decade, a small group of economists has challenged traditional wisdom about international trade. Rethinking International Trade provides a coherent account of this research program and traces the key steps in an exciting new trade theory that offers, among other possibilities, new arguments against free trade. Over the past decade a small group of economists has challenged traditional wisdom about international trade. Rethinking International Trade provides a coherent account of this research program and traces the key steps in an exciting new trade theory that offers, among other possibilities, new arguments against free trade. Krugman's introduction is a valuable guide to research that has delved anew into the causes of international trade and reopened basic questions about the international pattern of specialization, the effects of protectionism, and what constitutes an optimal trade policy. In the four sections that follow, he takes a revisionary look at the causes of international trade, and discusses growth and the role of history, technological change and trade, and strategic trade policy.
