More quotes by Paul Krugman
The party of ideas has become the party of Beavis and Butthead.
Paul Krugman

Paul Krugman
Economics is not a morality play.
Paul Krugman
The real danger with debt is what happens if lots of people decide, or are forced, to pay it off at the same time.
Paul Krugman
...instead it seems that business - like weight loss - is a subject wherein hope and fear inspire limitless gullibility.
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
There's nothing magic about spending on tanks and bombs rather than roads and bridges.
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
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.
