Product Description

Product Description

"Pop internationalists", people who speak impressively about international trade while ignoring basic economics and misusing economic figures, are the target of this collection of Paul Krugman's essays. He considers how such people can distort the basic truths about world trade.

5.0 out of 5 stars read this book!, 29 Mar 2002
By A Customer
Krugman has a rare ability to summarise key insights from economic theory, supporting them with powerful real-world examples, in order to make a profound impression on the reader. As an undergraduate economist myself, I found the first half of the book, in which Krugman recalls basic trade theory (that he shows to have been neglected by so many prominent commentators), a little repetitive, but the second half, in which he covers pressing current issues such as localisation of economies and myths of the Asian economic miracle, was an absolute revelation in clarity and foresight. A must for anyone interested in learning why the conventional wisdom on international trade is so often misplaced.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of those books that leaves the mark, 4 May 1999
By A Customer
If you have an interest in the field of economics, this book is likely to leave the mark on you. Concepts like "competitiveness" and "trade policy" (just to mention a few) won't look the same to you after you have finished reading the book. Actually, this book can serve as a gateway to the field of International Economics, as it can open your mind and spur your thoughts and interest on the subject. So far, in my limited experience, the most successfully written book from Krugman. Being made by an economist, it is most likely to be appreciated by readers with some background in economics. A "must" for students and ... politicians (yes!).

5.0 out of 5 stars very good book about a very difficult subject, 18 Aug 1999
By A Customer
I have to admit I have enjoyed reading the rambling confused one-star reviews as much as I enjoyed reading the book.
