Пол Кругман (Paul Krugman) в своей колонке в New York Times популярно объясняет, в каком кризисе и почему пребывает сегодня экономическая теория. Очень полезное и поучительное чтение. О том, как амбиции взрослых ученых мужей могут превратить их в неразумных и обидчивых детей. И что с того выходит остальному миру.
