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, "the heir apparent
to Galbraith" (Alan Blinder) and, 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.
