Krugman Upset That Opponents Don’t Read Him Carefully

The older I get–from my wistful observation you would think I was in my 70s, wouldn’t you?–the more I agree that people criticize in others that which they (deep down) despise in themselves. For example, take Krugman today talking about Casey Mulligan: I’ve been asked for reactions to Casey Mulligan’s piece about the failure of […]

Landsburg 1, Krugman 0

[UPDATE below.] I have made my bones attacking Steve Landsburg’s arguments in the past (here, here, and here). So the present post isn’t simply, “I like free market guys and hate Paul Krugman.” I am supposed to be preparing for a debate that will occur in a few hours so I need to keep this […]

Krugman on Inflation and Wages

In the past on this blog, I’ve been chastised for suggesting that Keynesians nakedly assert that high unemployment and high price inflation are incompatible. Today (in a post I largely agree with), Krugman said this: And taking the longer perspective, you can’t have a wage-price spiral if wages refuse to spiral; and all indications are […]

The Murphy-Krugman Debate Edges Closer

I actually got a call on the emergency line on this one from Wenzel. (I imagine there are about 3 of you who live vicariously through us, and so I like to give you some tidbits now and then.) Krugman quotes our friend Daniel Kuehn who in an RAE paper quotes me on the 1920-1921 […]

Yet Another Krugman Kontradiction?

Help me out here, Krugman sympathizers: For a while now he has been making two different arguments that seem in conflict. On the one hand, he has been savaging that “austerians” for pointing to historical examples of an expansionary episode of government budget cutting, by saying that all of these cases are inapplicable to our […]
