Conscience of a Liberal
Paul Krugman, The Conscience of a Liberal:
reclaiming America from the Right, Allen Lane
Princeton economist Paul Krugman has a few cogent
words to say about the USA and the soon to be departing
George W. Bush along with the anti-social members of his
group. Inequality, woeful social services, cronyism,
corruption, dishonesty - all these and more make up a
picture comparable to the 1920's.
Krugman spends some time looking at how it all came to
be, and along the way shows how the US health system
came to be the way it is, and who wants to keep it that
way (Southern conservatives for one, drug companies for
two, and health insurance companies to make up the triad).
But it looks like America is finally waking up so
perhaps there were will be a happy ending yet.
