Living in New York, Prof. Paul Krugman presents his American understanding of economics science theories and practices. However, the economics sciences changes rapidly, hence Prof. Paul Krugman may certainly benefit from learning on the new European developments in the economics science, which are well described in the Business Cycles in Economics book by Viktor O. Ledenyov and Dimitri O. Ledenyov!!!

An oddly conservative take on economics that leaves unquestioned many controversial ideas. For instance, Pareto efficiency is stated as science when it's very much a profoundly conservative value judgment that only an economist or someone very rich would think is reasonable. As such, it takes the life out of economics, reducing it to calculations of the math behind simplified market models.
