BMCC Economics Seminar Series: Arguing with Zombies
About Dr. Paul Krugman
Dr. Paul Krugman, recipient of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Economics, a best-selling author, columnist at The New York Times and Distinguished Professor at the City University of New York, Graduate Center is one of the most recognizable and trusted public voices on economics and policy today. Through a regular column in The New York Times, best-selling books, and a popular blog, Krugman communicates in an engaging and accessible manner to a wide audience the economics of public policy. Krugman is also a passionate defender of fact-based common-sense economics, countering deception and obfuscation whenever it threatens to overwhelm public debate.
His new book, “Arguing with Zombies,” unpacks the economic ideas that inform modern policy and lays a roadmap for how we got where we are today. From universal health care to trade wars and from social security to climate change, Krugman’s lucid and provocative essays provide honest and forceful arguments about issues that shape our economy and impact our lives.
