From healthcare to trade wars, Nobel Laureate and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman’s new book Arguing with Zombies expertly identifies “zombie ideas”: misconceptions about the economy that dominate public discourse and refuse to die away. Krugman provides his readers with the tools needed to bury myths about the economy that impact our daily lives, drawing on decades as a professor, economist, and public intellectual. Join Krugman for a conversation with the Executive Producer of Peabody award-winning radio program To The Best of Our Knowledge, Steve Paulson, on the “anti-zombie way”: an educated debate over the economy, politics, and the fight for a better future.
