A trenchant analysis of Paul Krugman’s Keynesian approach to the U.K.’s economic problems with appropriate criticisms included. Well put.

Sure, they want to bet the farm on Krugman who has been wrong 100% of the time. If you want to use Krugman, just do exactly the opposite of what he recommends.

Well. I certainly owe an apology to Jeremy Warner. I'd always thought him a dyed-in-the-wool Keynesian for his insistence that printing money is Europe's only way out of its current mess. Evidently, he's a monetarist à la Friedman.

Only slightly better, but still not a Keynesian. These are important distinctions.
