Paul Krugman's economic pessimism

Creative Destruction (Free subscription) | 7 hours ago

Let me stipulate up front that a year or two from now we may look back at the state of the macroeconomy in 2009 and 2010 and see that Paul Krugman's dire forecasts were exactly on target, and we should never have paid attention to that Char Weise fellow and his rosy scenarios. And you'd be crazy to put more faith in an obscure macroeconomist at a small liberal arts college than a Nobel Prize...

Congress Needs to Stop Reading Krugman's Column -- By: Veronique de Rugy

The Corner (Free subscription) | 6 hours ago

On Monday, I mentioned some of the terrible ideas that New York Times columnist and former economist Paul Krugman had for the recovery. It pretty much boiled down to spending more money. What worries me this morning is that newspapers around the country are reporting today that President Obama will host a job summit with academics, business, and labor leades at the White House tomorrow, and...

Incentives Matter (Free subscription) | 15 hours ago

Stefan Karlsson wrote a post clearly explaining one of the main problems (although not the only one ) with Krugman's defense of the Tobin tax . In his words: ... The transactions that would be particularly discouraged by a Tobin tax would be arbitrage type dealings trying to close discrepancies in pricing. Ending arbitrage trade would represent a big reduction economic efficiency. And furthermore,...

Paul Krugman & Jack Roberts can't out-run the truth

NW Republican (Free subscription) | 01/12/2009

On Sunday Paul Krugman made the idiotic statement that there was "tremendously more money" to be made by being a skeptic of Man-Made-Global-Warming than there is in the church of MMGW. A complete...

Apparently, enough others noted Paul Krugman's comments on debt and deficits over the weekend that he was compelled to pen this retort at his NY Times blog. When I was on This Week yesterday, George Will tried his hand at the debt scare thing, saying that we’re in terrible shape because by 2019 the interest on the debt will be SEVEN HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS. (That should be read in the...

Paul Krugman's Emergency Jobs Program Will Never Work

The Business Insider (Free subscription) | yesterday

This guest post originally appeared at TheAtlantic.com ... Paul Krugman and I seem to agree that the worst part of a recession is unemployment. Losing value in your 401(k) is terrible, but not, for most people, catastrophic. Losing your business or your job, on the other hand, is wretched, particularly when there are six job hunters for every job opening. Where we differ is that Krugman...

Krugman Forgets How Long the Dollar's Been Declining

SeekingAlpha.com (Free subscription) | yesterday

Ira Stoll submits: On his blog, Nobel laureate and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman implies that the concern about the declining value of the dollar as measured against gold or other currencies is driven by anti-Obama partisanship: Even now, the dollar is stronger than it was in early 2008. And the fall since its financial-panic peak (when everyone was rushing into the safety of US Treasury...

Krugman Partially Right On How To Fix Economy

Mickey's Musings (Free subscription) | 30/11/2009

Princeton economics professor Paul Krugman is calling for an "emergency jobs program" to reduce unemployment. One piece of his proposal is to provide additional federal funds to aid cash-strapped state governments. One such measure would be another round of aid to beleaguered state and local governments, which have seen their tax receipts plunge and which, unlike the federal government,...
