One of Krugman's best -- brief and informative
9. Januar 2002
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Every policy-maker and voter should read this book. After months of Krugman's anti-tac-cut NY Times Op-Eds, I was sick of hearing about this debate. But "Fuzzy Math" literally changed my mind in one night. It is not only a guide to the Bush tax cut but also a layman's guide to general tax policy, tax law, the federal budget, and distributional issues. Not only that, but Krugman provides a novel theory (at least to me) on why anti-big-government ideologues prefer tax cuts for the rich disproportionately over tax cuts for the bottom 99%. Krugman also exposes many statistical and other tricks that policy-makers play on the public in order to promote their programs. In short, this book does so much so thoroughly, and I am amazed that Krugman fit it all into so few pages.

"FUZZY MATH" clarifies with simplicity and thoroughness.
13. Mai 2001
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Whether you find yourself rooting for George Bush's ten-year tax cut plan or against it, Paul Krugman's concise, well documented, and straightforward "Fuzzy Math" will add depth to your argument. If the countless divergent articles, statistical tables, and TV pundit's gibbering commentary, on the subject of George Bush's flagship campaign issue, have failed to satisfy your desire to understand it, you owe it to yourself to listen to Princeton's Proffesor Krugman demystify the issue.
What taxes it affects, where the money is coming from, and to whom it is going, are just some of the answers that this brisk and short narrative provides. A must read for anyone interested in the nuts and bolts of "the ten-year tax cut" debate.

Never have so many voted for so much for so few
2. Juni 2001
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Almost as many people voted for Bush as voted for Gore -- and Bush ran on his tax-cut plan. In a slim volume (I read it in two sittings with no problem) Krugman very clearly spells out how the Bush campaign and administration hoodwinked the public into thinking his tax cut was for the middle class.
The fact is that 45% of the tax cut goes to the wealthiest 1% of families. Even "working stiffs" earning $400,000 per year get it bad. The truth is revealed in the Treasury departments own released numbers (see Table 7 on page 111) which are cleverly packaged in such a way that they SEEM to say the exact opposite. But Paul Krugman is not fooled, and he explains why you should not be either.
Favorite line: (on last page) "But there's a special reason to oppose the Bush plan, quite aside from its actual merits or lack thereof. This is the utter dishonesty of the sales campaign. At every stage of the debate Bush and his people have tried to obscure what they were really proposing."
For your own good, you must read this book.
