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

Paul Krugman
Economics is not a morality play.
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
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
In short, it's a great economy if you're a high-level corporate executive or someone who owns a lot of stock. For most other Americans, economic growth is a spectator sport.
Paul Krugman
Republican candidates had to appeal to their base, which is by and large elderly white people arguing with empty chairs.
