Keith RaboisThe Complacent Class by Tyler Cowen is a national bestseller that examines the state of American culture. Cowen argues that Americans have drifted away from their tradition of innovation and restlessness, choosing comfort over change. While this "matching culture" brings positives such as music we like and partners who make us happy, it also leads to significant downsides such as heightened inequality and decreased incentives to innovate. Cowen warns that this cannot go on forever, and unless Americans force themselves to embrace their restless tradition again, they will face a difficult future.

En ellas aborda temas como la seguridad social, la atención médica, la crisis financiera de 2008 y sus secuelas, los mitos de la austeridad, la economía europea, los recortes de impuestos, las guerras comerciales, la desigualdad, el cambio climático y, sobre todo, el daño infligido por Donald Trump. Muchas de las piezas son argumentos contundentes contra la economía zombi, «una idea que debería haber sido eliminada por la evidencia, pero que se niega a morir».
Contra los zombis es Krugman en estado puro y una guía indispensable para el discurso político y económico de dos décadas en los Estados Unidos y en todo el mundo. Con pinceladas rápidas y vívidas, Krugman aporta a sus lectores las claves necesarias para desbloquear los conceptos ocultos tras los principales problemas de política económica de nuestro tiempo.
