On Target - Focused "Where we are and goiing"

Revisado: 07-02-21

I enjoy Krugman and agree with his economic understanding, very Keynesian. In this day of too many opinions and a race to add another different one that just muddies the water, he clearly defines where we have been, where we are and where we should be going. There are as many economic opinions as there are economists and mostly tend to be wrong at our expense of doing the wrong things when the economy is disrupted. How often do we see after a turnaround a grading system of what all the economic pundits prescribed and how were they right or wrong? - I don't recall ever seeing one.
Journalism fails us on this count and so we don't know who to trust. Our country is at war within itself and we tend to accept only partial solutions that are only partially right and get a partially right outcome. Isn't it time that we got some truly solid opinions like Krugman's, try them and then grade him Our politicians are just that "politicians" and we have been accepting their untruths for too long. Google 2 def: "a person who acts in a manipulative and devious way, typically to gain advancement within an organization." Television news has corrupted our thinking into "sound bits and headlines with little substance but lots of opinions. Reading matters, listening to good information matters.

Disappointment

Revisado: 04-21-08

Didn't expect any secrets. Author keeps alluding to how he is outling the book and then goes off on a tangent. If you are interested in Buffett quotations, there are plenty. Lots of big financial figures thrown around if you are interested. Guess I didn't know what my expectations were so I can't complain about that.

The future of business

Revisado: 12-22-05

Friedman has done an excellent job of researching the leveling of the playing field through the economic phenomenon of very cheap telecommunications throughout the world tying our economies closer together and allowing for cost reduction through exporting jobs that can be done faster, better and cheaper by others. This is reported by a reporter, factual and describes accurately the future of businesses that can export functions. A little Gee whiz, but good information.

A very good read that describes very well the differences in cultures and society encompassed within a good story of the destruction and resurection of the grand opera house.
