The Great Unraveling

The Great Unraveling: Losing Our Way in the New Century is a sharp and thought-provoking collection of essays by Paul Krugman. Originally published in 2003, the book compiles Krugman’s columns written for The New York Times, offering a critical analysis of political and economic developments in the early 21st century.

Through clear and often incisive commentary, Krugman examines issues such as economic inequality, corporate misconduct, government policy, and the shifting political landscape in the United States. He argues that a series of policy decisions and institutional failures contributed to what he describes as a broader “unraveling” of economic stability and public trust.
