I get that Krugman can be shrill. But no one who wins a nobel prize in economics is an idiot.

- hodgesrm 5y agoAgree. Krugman is really good on pure economic questions like trade theory. Unfortunately he is a lot less trustworthy on issues where economics and current politics intersect, e.g., NYT opinion pieces. I read those with a fair degree of skepticism though he has produced a few that were economic gems.

- ahartmetz 5y agoThere is no actual nobel prize in economics, so there is that.
