This paper presents a discussion of Paul Krugman's book, "The Return of Depression Economics", which examines the
economies
of seven different countries that produce the majority of the
economic output of the world and how each has been affected by major economic slumps throughout the world. The paper concludes that the work appears to be written for shock-value and to scare people; it offers no real applicable solutions to a global problem, but it does succeed in developing an argument and an awareness of the philosophies of various world
economies and how they relate to each other and the world.
