If you want to understand opposition to climate action, follow the money.
Paul Krugman
The public has no idea that the deficit has been falling like a stone.
Paul Krugman
Asset bubbles have happened even without not-so-easy money. And, in a depressed economy, where alternative uses of money are not great, people are going to bid up the prices of profitable corporations and stuff like that.

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
The United States in particular and the West in general should be feeling a little embarrassed about all that lecturing we did to the Third World.

Paul Krugman
Whenever you see some business person quoted complaining about how he or she can't find workers with the necessary skills, ask what wage they're offering. Almost always it turns out what said business person really wants is highly (and expensively) educated workers at a manual-labor wage. No wonder they come up short.
Paul Krugman

Paul Krugman

Paul Krugman

Paul Krugman
There's nothing magic about spending on tanks and bombs rather than roads and bridges.
Paul Krugman
And when the chickens that didn't hatch come home to roost, we will rue the day when, misled by sloppy accounting and rosy scenarios, we gave away the national nest egg.
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
I've always believed in expansionary monetary policy and if necessary fiscal policy when the economy is depressed.
Paul Krugman
Unsustainable situations usually go on longer than most economists think possible. But they always end, and when they do, it's often painful.
Paul Krugman
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.
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
I think Stockman is an interesting sort of amalgam.
