In this major bestseller Paul Krugman warns that like diseases that have become resistant to
antibiotics the economic maladies that caused the Great Depression have made a comeback. He
lays bare the 2008 financial crisis-the greatest since the 1930s-tracing it to the failure of
regulation to keep pace with an out-of-control financial system. He also tells us how to
contain the crisis and turn around a world economy sliding into a deep recession. Brilliantly
crafted in Krugman's trademark style-lucid lively and supremely informed-this new edition of
The Return of Depression Economics has become an instant classic. A hard-hitting new foreword
takes the paperback edition right up to the present moment.
