More quotes by Paul Krugman
The habit of disguising ideology as expertise has created a deficit of legitimacy.
Paul Krugman
If you are a good economist, a virtuous economist, you are reborn as a physicist. But if you are an evil, wicked economist, you are reborn as a sociologist.
Paul Krugman
Many people ... prefer to describe themselves as progressives rather than liberals. To some extent that's a response to the decades-long propaganda campaign conducted by movement conservatives, which has been quite successful in making Americans disdain the word liberal but much less successful in reducing support for liberal policies.
Paul Krugman
We should try to create the society each of us would want if we didn't know in advance who we'd be.
Paul Krugman
In short, it's a great economy if you're a high-level corporate executive or someone who owns a lot of stock. For most other Americans, economic growth is a spectator sport.
Paul Krugman
The planet will continue to cook.
Paul Krugman
Obama is very much an establishment sort of guy. The whole image of him as a transcendent figure was based on style rather than substance. If you actually looked at what he said, not how he said it, he said very establishment things. He's a moderate, cautious, ameliorative guy. He tends to gravitate toward Beltway conventional wisdom.
Paul Krugman
There are no atheists in foxholes and there are no libertarians in financial crises.
Paul Krugman
One way in which Americans have always been exceptional has been in our support for education. First we took the lead in universal primary education then the “high school movement” made us the first nation to embrace widespread secondary education.
Paul Krugman
The federal government is basically an insurance company with an army.
Paul Krugman
There's nothing magic about spending on tanks and bombs rather than roads and bridges.
Paul Krugman
We have a lot of evidence on what happens when you raise the minimum wage. And the evidence is overwhelmingly positive: Hiking the minimum wage has little or no adverse effect on employment while significantly increasing workers' earnings.
Paul Krugman
If you can create even the illusion of high profitability for a few years, then when the thing collapses you can walk out of the wreckage a very rich man.
Paul Krugman
This is a serious analysis of a ridiculous subject, which is of course the opposite of what is usual in economics.
Paul Krugman
Wealthy Americans who benefit hugely from a system rigged in their favor react with hysteria to anyone who points out just how rigged the system is.
Paul Krugman
I think Stockman is an interesting sort of amalgam.
Paul Krugman
I believe that the only important structural obstacles to world prosperity are the obsolete doctrines that clutter the minds of men.
Paul Krugman
Generous unemployment benefits can increase both structural and frictional unemployment. So government policies intended to help workers can have the undesirable side effect of raising the natural rate of unemployment.
Paul Krugman
Politics determines who has the power, not who has the truth.
Paul Krugman
It’s not about the budget it’s about the power...So will the attack on unions succeed? I don’t know. But anyone who cares about retaining government of the people by the people should hope that it doesn’t.
