One of three Nobels awarded for being not George Bush.

I look at this guy, hear him speak, and I think this is one spooky shifty fellow.

String evidence of failed predictions and policy positions never stopped any leftist before, why should it now?

[Common Sense 101]

By “peers” I assume you’re talking about sane people...

[Calvin Locke]

Krugman got his award from a bunch of socialists for basically saying that socialism is the best economic practice.

By “peers” I assume you’re talking about sane people...

Krugman's peers would be insane people. Sane people have always thought he was a kook. Now even the insane agree.

somewhat of a kook........ <<- UNDERSTATEMENT....

[Olog-hai]

He did get it right that a certain country in Europe is using beggar-thy-neighbor policies on all the others. He had to borrow that from others who observed it first, though, and try to use it to push his Keynesian “solution”.

[Baynative]

The fact that Paul Krugman gained any notoriety at all is one of those bizarre anomalies of contemporary society.

[StAnDeliver]

(1) He doesn't understand demand nor demand destruction.

(2) His wife writes most of his stuff.

Sue me, Kruggie, you know you want to...

[sauropod]

Krugman is an intellectually dishonest man.

Even Ted O’Gasbag defeats him in a debate.

[twister881]

A beardo weirdo with Helter Skelter eyes and a tendency to shake and froth with anger when he speaks. IOW, a psycho.

[generally]

Thread winner!

Actually, I believe it was awarded because of Krugman’s work on international business siting decisions. Presumably he actually knows something about that corner of (micro-)economics and his views on it, unlike his views on macroeconomic policy, would be worth listening to. He’s analogous to a biologist with no training in ecology beyond a first year graduate course who has done groundbreaking work in cell biology pontificating about environmental issues, or a Ph.D. in solid-state physics going on about cosmology.

[generally]

I have to wonder if guys like this have just gone off the deep end, or if they are truly evil and have sold their reputations to the highest bidder for as long as they could be paid to publish what the high bidder wanted to hear.

[LMAO]

Now that the economy is showing signs of slowing from it's already sluggishness, will the Fed start Qe4?

[Bratch]

Anyone that subscribes to the Keynesian theory of economics is a kook, IMO.

lol, what a felching fungus of lies
