The event also featured economist Paul Krugman.

I don't understand how someone who has been consistently wrong as Krugman can be associated with that job description. He's no more an economist than is AOC.

Krugman is indeed an economist, and he has a Nobel. People will stick to him accordingly, despite his repeated errors.
