Massive FF, although I haven't been reading his columns as of late.

Epic HP.  He's not even a real economist, just a left-wing talking head.

Google scholar search for academic articles by Paul Krugman: 2,770 results.  And, he's only won a single measly Nobel Prize for Economics.  What a light-weight, huh?

No, he's not an intellectual lightweight; I'm just saying that he would have been much better off if he'd stuck to economics instead of inserting himself into politics (at least as the liberal flamethrower he is.)

What makes you think there's a distinction between the two?

HP, like most economists who are distracted by the shiny objects of politics and media attention.

Why are people so outraged that an economist speaks openly about his politics? Huh

You said he wasn't a real economist.  He's been a tenure track and tenured professor of economics for 35 years and he's published a freaking metric ton of academic articles.  That's what an economist is, it's a job title.  You don't have to like him, but he's an economist and it's not up for debate.

Obviously a smart guy but he's turned into a straight partisan hack.

One of the better bourgeois economists, though he's totally off his rocker on "free trade."
