More quotes by 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
When depression economics prevails, the usual rules of economic policy no longer apply: virtue becomes vice, caution is risky and prudence is folly.
Paul Krugman
The problem with digital books is that you can always find what you are looking for but you need to go to a bookstore to find what you weren't looking for.
Paul Krugman
Default is not in our stars, but in ourselves.
Paul Krugman
Politics determines who has the power, not who has the truth.
Paul Krugman
Can we break the machine that is imposing right-wing radicalism on the United States? The scariest part is that the media is part of that machine.
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
The public has no idea that the deficit has been falling like a stone.
Paul Krugman
There are no atheists in foxholes and there are no libertarians in financial crises.
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
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
If you want to understand opposition to climate action, follow the money.
Paul Krugman
Bad ideas flourish because they are in the interest of powerful groups.
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
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
The important thing to understand is that the case for pollution control isn't based on some kind of aesthetic distaste for industrial society. Pollution does real, measurable damage, especially to human health.
Paul Krugman
The economics profession went astray because economists, as a group, mistook beauty, clad in impressive-looking mathematics, for truth.
Paul Krugman
What our economy needs is direct job creation by the government and mortgage-debt relief for stressed consumers. What it very much does not need is a transfer of billions of dollars to corporations that have no intention of hiring anyone except more lobbyists.
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.
