I remember someone here on FR (an economist!) trying to convince it you take Krugman outside the realm of politics h’s an excellent economist within his specialty of international trade. So said this person Krugman deserved his Nobel prize in economics. However otherwise he’s a partisan hack. Me not being an economist (only two courses as undergrad electives) I said ‘ok’ if you say so.

It’s still impossible to square to my way of thinking.

Can anyone here on FR make the same case this person did?

I actually have an advanced degree in economics and have worked 14 years of my career internationally. I challenge anyone to show me where Paul Krugman has been consistently right about anything.

Maybe he has predicted the sun will rise in the east, so I will have to concede that much.
