Krugman is incapable of learning anything, even from his own past mistakes.

If you have not seen them, take some time to read through three absolutely devastating blog posts by historian Niall Ferguson, who takes down Krugman as thoroughly and as well as any takedown I've ever seen:

Krugtron the Invincible Part 1

Krugtron the Invincible Part 2

Krugtron the Invincible Part 3

The best one is the last one.

"This is by no means the only retrospective prediction Krugman has ever made, but it is surely the most shameless."

[Calvin Locke]

Krugman is incapable of learning anything, even from his own past mistakes.

No, he learns from them. It's your, and mine as well, definition of "mistake" that's the problem.

Krugman's been rewarded for pushing gub'mint intervention as much as possible, regardless of the efficacy and/or outcome.

His igNobel prize? Awarded by a bunch of socialists for pushing socialism....
