End This Depression Now!

Summary:

The book argues for aggressive government spending to counteract the economic stagnation following the 2008 financial crisis, critiquing austerity measures and advocating for Keynesian economic policies to stimulate growth and reduce unemployment. It presents a case for immediate, bold action to alleviate the ongoing economic hardship and prevent long-term damage to the economy.

Key points:

1. Liquidity Trap: Krugman says when interest rates are near zero, people save cash instead of spending, causing economic stagnation. He believes fiscal stimulus, not just monetary policy, is needed to recover.
