Paul Krugman
Bad ideas flourish because they are in the interest of powerful groups.
Paul Krugman
Something terrible has happened to the soul of the Republican Party. We've gone from bad economic doctrine. We've even gone beyond selfishness and special interests.

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

Paul Krugman
The economic expansion that began in 2001, while it has been great for corporate profits, has yet to produce any significant gains for ordinary working Americans. And now it looks as if it never will.
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
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
Politics determines who has the power, not who has the truth.
Paul Krugman
I believe that the only important structural obstacles to world prosperity are the obsolete doctrines that clutter the minds of men.
Paul Krugman
