There is no better guide than Paul Krugman to basic economics, the ideas that animate much of our public policy. Likewise, there is no stronger foe of zombie economics, the misunderstandings that just won’t die. In Arguing with Zombies, Krugman tackles many of these misunderstandings, taking stock of where the United States has come from and where it’s headed in a series of concise, digestible chapters. Drawn mainly from his popular New York Times column, they cover a wide range of issues, organized thematically and framed in the context of a wider debate.

Great articles and great narrator
Revisado: 07-28-24
I really can’t think of anything I disliked about this audiobook. Some of the points may come as a shock to those who have been raised on free-market fundamentalism, but Krugman defends his positions quite well. His wittiness may come off as somewhat childish or snarky at times; I found, though, that it helped keep the writing lively, which is a hard thing to do when discussing fairly technical economic concepts.

Few figures in American politics have seen more and said less than Mitt Romney. An outspoken dissident in Donald Trump’s GOP, he has made headlines in recent years for standing alone against the forces he believes are poisoning the party he once led. Romney was the first senator in history to vote to remove from office a president of his own party. When that president’s supporters went on to storm the US Capitol, Romney delivered a thundering speech from the Senate floor accusing his fellow Republicans of stoking insurrection.

Political and intellectual biography at its best!
Revisado: 10-25-23
Anyone who wants to understand twenty-first century American politics should read this book, along with Obama’s presidential memoir (of which the second part has unfortunately yet to be published)! I don’t agree with all of Romney’s views, but I can’t help but conclude that he is a man of great integrity who cares deeply about doing the right thing and standing up for democratic principles.

Language too complex for an intro
Revisado: 12-05-22
The author tells a short, coherent story, but his language is weighed down by the jargon dominant in his field.
