With The Conscience of a Liberal, best-selling author Paul Krugman points the way to a new New Deal.
　　America emerged from Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal with strong democratic values and broadly shared prosperity. But for the past thirty years American politics has been dominated by a conservative movement determined to undermine the New Deal's achievements - a movement whose founding manifesto was Barry Goldwater's The Conscience of a Conservative. That movement has been highly successful in turning the clock back: both the inequality of today's America and the corruption of its political life hark back to the age of the robber barons.
　　Now the tide may be turning - and in The Conscience of a Liberal Paul Krugman, the world's most widely read economist and one of its most influential political commentators, charts the way to reform.
　　Krugman ranges over a century of history, from the political economy of the Gilded Age - which seems all too familiar these days - to the calamities of the Bush years, which he argues were inevitable once movement conservatives gained full control of the U.S. government. He shows that neither the middle-class America the baby boomers grew up in nor the increasingly oligarchic nation we have become over the past generation evolved naturally: both were created, to a large extent, by government policies guided by organized political movements. He explains how defenders of inequality have exploited cultural and racial divisions to their advantage, while reformers have found ways to bridge those divisions. And he argues that the time is ripe for another great era of reform.
　　Last but not least, The Conscience of a Liberal outlines a program for change. It shows how universal health care can be the centerpiece of a new New Deal, just as Social Security was the core of the original. It explains what can be done to narrow the wealth and income gap. And it shows how a new political coalition can both support and be supported by reform, making our society not just more equal but more democratic.

　　Paul Krugman has at least three jobs: he is professor of economics and international affairs at Princeton University; Centenary Professor at the London School of Economics; and, perhaps his best-known job, an op-ed columnist for the New York Times. In recognition of his influence the Washington Monthly called him “the most important political columnist in America.”

Democrats的良心
suyanz(on twitter: suyanz)

自从Krugman独得诺奖之后，本地大学图书馆里这本书就被一人接一人紧着预约，受欢迎程度可见一斑。如同前人评论所说，一边读这本给自由主义者的指南针一边就会越来越‘热血沸腾’，不禁拍案痛斥共和党派的种种卑鄙行为，同时恨不得马上洗清自己之前曾经对民主党、左派的主意有过的任何怀疑。。。书中的大前提是国家的意义在于让每...... (5回应)

至少有翻盤的希望
kursk(還有一次便會被永久封鎖了)

如果直譯書名，The Conscience of a Liberal應該是《一個自由主義者的良心》，台灣的時報出版社的譯名《下一個榮景：政治如何搭救經濟》，跟英文書名風馬牛不相及，大概是因為怕直譯書名會趕客吧。克魯曼(Paul Krugman)是今屆諾貝爾經濟學獎得主，平日看信報或者New York Times...... (3回应)

历史总是重演
Ingram(那些自由而无用的学问...)

我是听Audiobook,听到1/4，远在FDR的New Deal之前，美国的财富分配体系已经开始极端化了，于是1929年大危机出现了。 FDR的应对方法就是增强social welfare来改善收入分配，而针对更加不平均的财富占有体系，对应的方法就是征收高额的遗产税。可惜的是FDR的政策并没有很好的贯彻下去。这......

对美国政治的解读及政治决定经济
DJ

概括从这本书读到了几点， 1. 美国政党政治分化，自由派眼中的治自由派和保守派各是什么样的一些人； 2. 美国贫富分化，美国一般民众和中产阶级在过去的20年左右中并未分享到和大型企业CEO和投资家一样的收入增长幅度 3. 保罗克鲁格曼认为美国从里根以来美国的贫富分化和政党两极化是保守主义政党分子努力的......
