THE RETURN OF DEPRESSION ECONOMICS AND THE CRISIS OF 2008

Are you afraid we're headed back to the past and the Great Depression? Don Leslie will pull you right to the edge of your seat with his rendering of Krugman's second iteration of his primer on global economics since the beginning of the twentieth century. Leslie sounds more like Krugman than Krugman—a real audio pro. And Krugman's terrific writing is oh-so beautifully complemented by this superb narrator's sense of timing and proportion. Close your eyes and you're in a Princeton lecture hall listening to a Nobel Prize winner. This book is for anyone interested in how we got here and how we might get ourselves out of this mess. It’s likely to become a cornerstone of college curricula dealing with world economics. M.C. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2009]
