END THIS DEPRESSION NOW!

In this follow-up to THE RETURN OF DEPRESSION ECONOMICS, Nobel Prize-winning economist and Princeton professor Krugman delivers his introduction before handing over the reins to Rob Shapiro. As Krugman describes the recession of 2008 and charts a path to end the recession, Shapiro uses an even pace and steadily builds the narration to Krugman's conclusions about supply, demand, and increased spending. For the aspects of the discussion that require a more visual approach, there are references to the accompanying charts and graphs. Even though the subject matter can be dense, Shapiro presents Krugman’s argument in a straightforward and understandable way, reading with inflection and emphasis, and slowing down to allow listeners to digest the more technical aspects of the discussion.
