I beg to differ. Krugman's been right on far too many occasions.

For example, he was one of the first people to suggest that perhaps the Internet boom wasn't quite what it appeared to be. I can remember articles of his suggesting that it was odd that the productivity gains the computer revolution was supposed to be bringing about didn't seem to be showing up in the economic data.

Krugman was once a good economist. Now he is a braindead follower of the left. I follow his columns closely and they are atrocious. Inuendo, half truth's and mistruth's are Krugmans current coin of the ralm.

He is a lost soul wandering in Marxworld.

It wasn't just tech companies that were selling people a bill of goods though. In hindsight it's painfully obvious that a significant portion of the stock market boom during the Clinton era was fraudulent. A lot of it was in fact manufactured in order to keep him in office.
