Princeton professor Paul Krugman recently won the Nobel Prize in Economics. Although The Nobel Committee stressed that it gave Krugman the award for his academic work, most of us recognize his name from the NY Times column, which has been quite critical of the Bush administration. Paul Krugman is also the author of a book, recently released in paperback called, The Conscience of a Liberal. According to Krugman, America emerged from Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal with strong democratic values and broadly shared prosperity. But for the past 30 years, American politics has been dominated by a conservative movement determined to undermine the New Deal's achievements. But now he says, the tide may be turning, and in, The Conscience of a Liberal, Paul Krugman gives us a history of political movement and a blueprint for a progressive resurgence. Josephine Reed spoke to Paul Krugman when his book was first published and, in celebration of his Nobel Prize for economics, we're airing the interview.
