More quotes by Paul Krugman
The party of ideas has become the party of Beavis and Butthead.
Paul Krugman
Under the gold standard America had no major financial panics other than in 1873, 1884, 1890, 1893, 1907, 1930, 1931, 1932, and 1933.
Paul Krugman
The great thing about fiscal policy is that it has a direct impact and doesn't require you to bind the hands of future policymakers.
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
Economists don't usually make good speculators, because they think too much.
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
It's a funny thing, by the way, how people who love free markets are also quite sure that they know that investors are being irrational.
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
The federal government is basically an insurance company with an army.
Paul Krugman
I've always believed in expansionary monetary policy and if necessary fiscal policy when the economy is depressed.
Paul Krugman
The world economy is in a nosedive, and understanding what I call depression economics - the weird world you get into when even a zero interest rate isn't low enough, and a messed-up financial system is dragging down the real economy - is essential if we're going to avoid the worst.
Paul Krugman
The science fiction world has a lot of people doing seriously imaginative thinking.
Paul Krugman
Seven habits that help produce the anything-but-efficient markets that rule the world. 1. Think short term. 2. Be greedy. 3. Believe in the greater fool 4. Run with the herd. 5. Overgeneralize 6. Be trendy 7. Play with other people's money
Paul Krugman
Coming up with a good idea, with an insight into the way the world works that is really new and that you really believe in, is a deeply satisfying experience.
Paul Krugman
I have friends, political scientists, sociologists, who all share an interest at least in certain kinds of science fiction.
Paul Krugman
Surely I'm not the only person to ask the obvious question: How different, really, is Mr. Madoff's tale from the story of the investment industry as a whole?
Paul Krugman
On the political as on the economic front it's important not to fall into the not as bad as trap. High unemployment isn't O.K. just because it hasn't hit 1933 levels ominous political trends shouldn’t be dismissed just because there’s no Hitler in sight.
Paul Krugman
Politics determines who has the power, not who has the truth.
Paul Krugman
Every once in a while I feel despair over the fate of the planet. If you’ve been following climate science, you know what I mean: the sense that we’re hurtling toward catastrophe but nobody wants to hear about it or do anything to avert it.
Paul Krugman
The planet will continue to cook.
