More quotes by 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
The science fiction world has a lot of people doing seriously imaginative thinking.
Paul Krugman
Not all private equity people are evil. Only some.
Paul Krugman
[D]ebt increases that didn't arise either from war or from extraordinary financial crisis are entirely associated with hard-line conservative governments.
Paul Krugman
I really think that people have to think safety taking risks for higher yield is a bad idea once you're in late or latish middle age.
Paul Krugman
When the Fed decides that inflation is too high, they have the tools, and they've shown historically that they have the will, to bring it down. And, it might be painful.
Paul Krugman
As I've often said, you can shop online and find whatever you're looking for, but bookstores are where you find what you weren't looking for.
Paul Krugman
Anyone who thinks that the last 80 years, ever since FDR took us off gold, have been a doomed venture, that strikes me as kind of cranky.
Paul Krugman
If Europe’s example is any guide, here are the two secrets of coping with expensive oil: own fuel-efficient cars, and don’t drive them too much.
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
However, the fact that an economist offers a theoretical analysis does not and should not automatically command respect. What is needed is some assurance that the analysis is actually relevant.
Paul Krugman
Friedrich Hayek is not an important figure in the history of macroeconomics.
Paul Krugman
I've always believed in expansionary monetary policy and if necessary fiscal policy when the economy is depressed.
Paul Krugman
America's political landscape is infested with many zombie ideas - beliefs about policy that have been repeatedly refuted with evidence and analysis but refuse to die. The most prominent zombie is the insistence that low taxes on rich people are the key to prosperity.
Paul Krugman
Where's that toxic rhetoric coming from? Let's not make a false pretense of balance: it's coming, overwhelmingly, from the right. It's hard to imagine a Democratic member of Congress urging constituents to be armed and dangerous without being ostracized but Representative Michele Bachmann, who did just that, is a rising star in the G.O.P.
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
Outrageous fiscal mendacity is neither historically normal nor bipartisan. It’s a modern Republican thing.
Paul Krugman
Tax cuts were not going to be effective at creating jobs, and the job creation record is lousy.
Paul Krugman
...instead it seems that business - like weight loss - is a subject wherein hope and fear inspire limitless gullibility.
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.
