Incentives Matter (Free subscription) | yesterday
Krugman wrote an article that appeared yesterday in the NYT defending the Tobin tax, a tax on financial transactions, as a way to "deter financial speculation." Financial speculation by itself isn't a problem, is a solution , and as an economist he should know that. Krugman's mistake is worse however: his article transparently shows that he doesn't know anything about the recent literature...

Of course we think The Daily Show is the only trustworthy news-source in America, but we work for Comedy Central, so we're hardly objective. We also think South Park should have won the Nobel Prize for Economics, and Just Shoot Me reruns cure rickets. But it turns out we're not the only ones singing the [...]

While Williamson is not a radical thinker and uses...
