"The Great Unraveling: Losing Our Way in the New Century" by Paul Krugman

It should be enough to say two words to interest you in buying this book: Paul Krugman. Thank God for this Man! A Princeton University professor who pens a column for the New York Times, Krugman is probably the most visible mainstream media commentator, among a handful, who "gets it." He views the Bush Cartel as "revolutionary power...a movement whose leaders do not accept the legitimacy of our current political system." In short, Krugman understands that the Bush gang is anti-democracy at its core.

But, as an economics professor, Krugman is most on his game when he exposes the bumbling, tragic farce of the fraud known as Bush economics (something that might have been created by the Keystone Cops if they had turned sides and become robbers). A con artist on a riverboat gambling ship has more financial acumen than the Bush crew. Krugman reveals the Bush Cartel for the greedy, reckless, incompetent hustlers that they are. Like most BuzzFlash readers, he is amazed that the nation, as whole, hasn't caught on to the fact that we have the bank robbers running the bank.

"The Great Unraveling: Losing Our Way in the New Century" is primarily a collection of past Krugman columns. The man is an Emile Zola for our time, unforgiving in his exposure of the insidious financial incompetence and calculated deception of the current administration. Because of his academic background, he has the heft to back up his trenchant perspective with the "bonafides."

Coming across Paul Krugman's column in the New York Times is like finding an oasis in the desert.
