Review of 'The Great Unraveling: Losing Our Way in the New Century (Updated and Expanded)' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
It was somewhat hard to push myself through this compilation of articles, simply because of the inevitable redundancy. I wish that the editors or Paul Krugman had taken the time to make a more contiguous experience out of the articles by editing them into one whole, rather than simply compiling them by topic. That said, however, I still enjoyed reading Krugman's clear-eyed refutation of every crooked action made by the Bush Administration. He gets down to the bottom of their thievery, revealing its terrible reality without resorting to rhetoric or ideology. He also exhibits remarkable restraint, and gracefully details the economic and political failures of the Bush Administration with strong backing information and critical analysis. So I recommend this book for reading to those of us who have not been keeping up with the New York Times---Krugman is an intellect worth hearing out.
