Outrageous fiscal mendacity is neither historically normal nor bipartisan. It’s a modern Republican thing.
Paul Krugman
Image
Politics determines who has the power, not who has the truth.
Paul Krugman

But where will the Fed find another bubble?
Paul Krugman

If you want to understand opposition to climate action, follow the money.
Paul Krugman
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The public has no idea that the deficit has been falling like a stone.
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

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.

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

I've always believed in expansionary monetary policy and if necessary fiscal policy when the economy is depressed.

There are no atheists in foxholes and there are no libertarians in financial crises.
Paul Krugman

Consumer spending is now plunging at serious-recession rate ... even if the rescue now in train succeeds in unfreezing credit markets, the real economy has immense downward momentum. In addition to financial rescues, we need major stimulus programs.
Paul Krugman
Image
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.

as an economics professor I am by nature inclined to the view that the truth isn't out there, it's in here - that usually you learn a lot more by thinking really hard about the data than you do by sniffing around for supposedly inside information.

The French, unfortunately, actually believe what they say, and that has been very destructive.
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.

The federal government is basically an insurance company with an army.

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.

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.
