Title: Critical: The Return of Depression Economics and the Crisis of 2008
Author: Paul Krugman

Obama and Tim Geithner have released their stimulus package to help stop the economic bleeding. This short, easy read is very effective and a good pick for a short month.

How you get out of a financial crisis is the issue of the day. So, let's learn some history and strategies of how others have come out of our current dilemma.

The book is a reissue of a 1999 book with the same title, minus the "and the Crisis of 2008" language. It is fine to read that copy if you cannot find the newest version at the library. The content changes are minor in the reissue, especially if you follow Krugman's column in the NY Times.

If you want some "extra credit" reading and enjoy the topic. Feel free to read Charles Kindleberger's "Manias, Panics, and Crashes: A History of Financial Crises".
