Do you have a citation for point one? The author of the article discusses not just Chicago School monetarism, but also the many other strains of economic thought over the past decades, including the 'New Keynesians.' Krugman apparently also disagrees with the New Keynesians, and the rest of the economic mainstream of the past 30 years, not just the Chicago School. What the author is getting at is that Krugman doesn't seem to be reading economics anymore, from any school of thought. Looking at the author's CV (http://faculty.chicagobooth.edu/john.cochrane/research/Papers/vitashort.doc http://faculty.chicagobooth.edu/john.cochrane/research/Paper... [DOC]), he appears to be a libertarian. Libertarians weren't exactly well-represented in the Bush administration, and CATO were among its fiercest critics on financial and foreign policy issues. The anger over Krugman's piece doesn't seem to be limited to Cochrane or Chicago School economists either. Cochrane's personal web page also links to a similar piece featured on Huffington Post rebutting Krugman: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-k-levine/an-open-letter-to-paul-kr_b_289768.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-k-levine/an-open-letter-...
