  I'm particularly curious about why you prefer Reinhart over Krugman, specifically because of the disagreement over the famously erroneous Reinhart-Rogoff results (Krugman comment here: https://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/04/16/reinhart-rogoff-continued/ https://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/04/16/reinhart-rogoff.... As far as I know, Reinhart-Rogoff never republished or responded further than what Krugman discussed in the linked post). Specific examples supporting/disproving the case of either would be helpful. I tend to ignore Krugman when he's talking politics (eg. his prediction of a Trump recession). However, when he goes through the process of laying out the assumptions of an economic model (happens in many of his blog posts labeled 'wonkish'), his discussion of economic consequences of various policies seems to map very well with reality.
