In the clear, readable, entertaining style that brought acclaim for his best-selling \u003ci\u003eAge of Diminished Expectations\u003c\/i\u003e, Krugman explains what real economic analysis is. He discusses economic terms and measurements, like \"value-added\" and GDP, in simple language so that readers can understand how pop internationalists distort, and sometimes contradict, the most basic truths about world trade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll but two of the essays have previously appeared in such publications as \u003ci\u003eForeign Affairs\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eScientific American\u003c\/i\u003e, and the \u003ci\u003eHarvard Business Review\u003c\/i\u003e. The first five essays take on exaggerations of foreign competition's effects on the U.S. economy and represent Krugman's central criticisms of public debate over world trade. The next three essays expose further distortions of economic theory and include the complete, unaltered, controversial review of Laura Tyson's \u003ci\u003eWho's Bashing Whom\u003c\/i\u003e. The third group of essays highlights misconceptions about competition from less industrialized countries. The concluding essays focus on interesting and legitimate economic questions, such as the effects of technological change on society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003ePaul Krugman is Professor of Economics and International Affairs at Princeton University and a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e columnist.
