Arguing with zombies

Arguing with zombies: economics, politics, and the fight for a better future / Paul Krugman, 444 pgs.

A compilation of columns and blog posts from Krugman about economics and public policy related to same.  A pretty hefty book but most chapters are short so you can take your time and read a section or a shorter selection.  The zombie part is him talking about ideas that have been proven over and over to be wrong but are still discussed as if true.  Of course I love the economics talk but more so, the clarity that can be provided in a short format.  Taken together, this is a powerful review of the basis of modern economics.
