Even in an article about non-competes Krugman can't help but slather on the bias. It amazes me that people still take this man seriously and that his books are so widely used in economics classrooms. Krugman has long since abandoned any hint of objectivity, and thus his conclusions should be considered with a heaping scoop of skepticism.

- antientropic 9y agoIt's an opinion piece on the opinion pages of the NYTimes. It's not a paper in a scientific journal. It's not required or expected to be "unbiased" or "objective".
- tanderson92 9y agoYou are correct, yet even though I agree substantively with Krugman even I find his hectoring tone and use of loaded language discomfiting.
