More quotes by Paul Krugman
By rescuing the financial system without reforming it, Washington has done nothing to protect us from a new crisis, and, in fact, has made another crisis more likely.
Paul Krugman
These days, however, the main problem comes from the right - from conservatives who, unlike most economists, really do think that the free market is always right - to such an extent that they refuse to believe even the most overwhelming scientific evidence if it seems to suggest a justification for government action.
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
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
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
There are no atheists in foxholes and there are no libertarians in financial crises.
Paul Krugman
Default is not in our stars, but in ourselves.
Paul Krugman
Economists don't usually make good speculators, because they think too much.
Paul Krugman
It's a funny thing, by the way, how people who love free markets are also quite sure that they know that investors are being irrational.
Paul Krugman
I think Stockman is an interesting sort of amalgam.
Paul Krugman
Under the gold standard America had no major financial panics other than in 1873, 1884, 1890, 1893, 1907, 1930, 1931, 1932, and 1933.
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
There's nothing magic about spending on tanks and bombs rather than roads and bridges.
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
Tax cuts were not going to be effective at creating jobs, and the job creation record is lousy.
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
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 stock prices are rising, it's called ''momentum investing'' when they are falling, it's called ''panic.''
Paul Krugman
The economics profession went astray because economists, as a group, mistook beauty, clad in impressive-looking mathematics, for truth.
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.
