It's not the first time he's been wrong.
Krugman has lived his life in a liberal urban academic bubble and has no idea what the rest of the USA is like.
We would do well to remember that when we have the misfortune to come across his writings in the future.
- antisthenes 10y agoI've been talking to a few liberal friends this morning who have no frame of reference outside of living on one of the USA's coasts all their lives. The perceptual bubbles are very real for both sides, and to someone who has been on both sides of the aisle - they're terrifying; because breaking through the bubble is exceptionally hard and costly, doubly so if that person is already an established adult.
- talmand 10y ago>> It's not the first time he's been wrong. It's because Krugman changes his mind based on who is currently President and/or controlling Congress. A policy under a Democrat President is good and the exact same policy under a Republican President is bad. Krugman is a hack who received his Nobel for being anti-Bush. There are far better voices for the Left.
