• The Economy Looks Better in Paul Krugman’s Neighborhood

  
  Truthdig: Drilling Beneath the Headlines — Authority: 726
  Around here we take what Paul Krugman has to say seriously, which is probably why we’ve been so depressed lately. Alas (at last, even), the Nobel Prize-winning economist sees signs of hope—not in the numbers, but walking around the streets of New York and Princeton. As Kaptain Krug himself points out, those ...

• Paul Krugman: "Things look better than I expected"

  
  The Political Carnival — Authority: 675
  By GottaLaff This is more encouraging than a lot of things Ive read lately, because Krugman has been a recovery thumbs-downer for quite awhile. Its a little like comfort food after a bad day. Before I get too carried away, he does offer the caveat that "looks can be deceiving", but still: And I’m not sure ...

• Seasonal Posting: NYTFail, Part 2

  
  Angry Bear — Authority: 618
  First, David Leonhardt argued that this recession was good for workers . Now, Floyd Norris apparently has decided to mix and match data . (I wonder if the fact many NYT employees who are looking at their 45-day severance offers is having an effect on its economic coverage.) One of the standard "economist ...

• Richard Hofstadters Famous Essay

  
  Random Thoughts from Random Places — Authority: 444
  "The Paranoid Style in American Politics" is as true today as it was when it was written back during the 1964 election campaign, when the Goldwater supporters and the John Birch Society were in full bloom. Of course, the whackos today are merely the same sort of paranoid sorts, only this time there is the internet ...

• Ironic, isn’t it?

  
  Kayak2U — Authority: 430
  Paul Krugman has a stupid blog post wondering what happened to the word "Commie".  He gets a lot of email calling him a "Nazi" (!), and he wonders what cultural factors might be at play.  He’s got 146 (plus) comments showing, but not the one I sent in last night.  Can’t imagine why.  All I did was point out ...

• How Did Paul Krugman Get It So Wrong? (Nobel Laureate Missed the Fannie and Freddie Debacle)

  
  Stupidica — Authority: 162
  In July 2008 Nobel laureate Paul Krugman wrote that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (the GSEs) "didnt do any subprime lending, because they cant: the definition of a subprime loan is precisely a loan that doesnt meet the requirement, imposed by law, that Fannie and Freddie buy only mortgages issued to borrowers who made ...

• Krugman: TIPs a Useful Indicator of Inflation

  
  GreenLightAdvisor Views — Authority: 436
  Paul Krugman writes that TIPs (or Real Return Bonds in Canada) can be a useful indicator of the market’s inflation expectations, though not a perfect one,  in critical response to an FT article: Treasury inflation-protected securities — bonds whose payouts are indexed to consumer prices — are really useful ...

• Obama needs a lesson in Foghorn-style Ass Whuppin

  
  mavenandmeddler — Authority: 129
  As a fan of economist, Paul Krugman , I get his blog posts on my Kindle, and lately he’s been referring back to some posts earlier this year (which I read), wherein he suggested more aggressive economic policies to remedy the financial crisis we’d found ourselves in. He wasn’t alone in this. On a different ...

• Californicated

  
  lovable liberal — Authority: 134
  Ill winds blow through America. Extremists, for whom freedom means the enforcement of their beliefs on everyone else and for whom the idea of America is not constitutional democracy but rather the triumph of their tribe, are untethered to reality or restraint : Real power in the party rests, instead, with the ...

• RUMP REPUBLICAN(S) CAST ME OUT

  
  THE MARK MARTINEZ SHOW: Talk Radio for Liberals and Real Conservatives — Authority: 129
  Paul Krugman’s most recent op-ed makes an interesting observation. Currently the Republican Party - a.k.a. the Party of No - is bent on standing in the way of legislation that might hand President Obama any degree of success. As a result our national political scene has become more and more burlesque and may soon ...

• Short and Smart

  
  Get the Flick — Authority: 131
  I wonder if the non-writers can appreciate the brilliance of Paul Krugman. I mean, obviously he’s got it when it comes to economics. He’s got the Nobel to prove it. But as a writer ? I’d kill to be able to sum up an insightful observation, about an important subject, so succinctly. Paranoia Strikes Deep ...

• Paul Krugman – wrong about everything, but he got the Nobel Prize!

  
  For What It's Worth — Authority: 155
  Now that doesn’t necessarily mean that Obama is as ignorant and stupid as Krugman, Jimmy Carter and Owl Gore, but I’d place him closer to that group of losers than any other. Here’s Krugman on how Fannie Mae never issued sub-prime mortgages . Not only was he entirely, impossibly wrong, he continues to make the ...

• NYTs Krugman Quotes 1960s Song Proving ObamaCare Opponents Point

  
  NewsBusters.org - Exposing Liberal Media Bias — Authority: 830
  Isnt that Paul Krugman clever? The title of his latest op-ed ("Paranoia Strikes Deep") quotes a line, presumably deliberately, from a 1960s protest song many consider one of the opening shots in that decades protest movement. Before he got cute with his title, Krugman should have gone to the songs full lyrics, as ...

• How Come No One Is Acting Like The Recession Is Over?

  
  The Awl — Authority: 673
  During a casual conversation with a small group of acquaintances this weekend I heard someone express the opinion that we were somewhere near the middle of a double-dip recession and that there was going to be a “white riot” when the second dip hit. This was more than a little troubling, since it certainly was not ...

• Lunatics and Asylums

  
  Gerry Canavan — Authority: 484
  Via Steve Benen , I see that Paul Krugmans column today addresses a particular concern of this blog over the last few months, the long-term consequences of a GOP "taken over by the people it used to exploit": In the short run, this may help Democrats, as it did in that New York race. But maybe not: elections ...

• Hofstadter Again

  
  As the Top of the World Turns — Authority: 106
  Paul Krugman invokes the ghost of Richard Hofstadter. Hofstadter was a Columbia historian who wrote an essay on "The Paranoid Style in American Politics."A reaction to the perceived abused of Sen. Joseph McCarthy, Hofstadters essay was a middlebrow version of the Frankfurt Schools "authoritarian personality" concept. ...
