New Paul Krugman blog and book

Paul Krugman, a New York Times columnist and professor of economics at Princeton, has launched a blog. It seems the must-have accessory for any self-respecting economist nowadays (see my posts of 24 March and 25 April).

Krugman uses one of his first entires to publicise his new book, The Conscience of a Liberal. He describes it as: “a book about what has happened to the America I grew up in and why, a story that I argue revolves around the politics and economics of inequality.”
