Shrillness In The Defense of Liberty: Two Reviews

Michael Tomasky and Peter Beinart review Paul Krugman's new book, The Conscience of a Liberal, in the New York Review of Books and the New York Times, respectively. I am unsure if I want to buy this book. I've read Krugman's columns fairly often, and the difference in performance between the post-war "Golden Age" and the world after the fall in the Bretton Woods system is an old story to me.
