Paul Krugman
Our grandfathers lived in a world of largely self-sufficient, inward-looking national economies - but our great-great grandfathers lived, as we do, in a world of large-scale international trade and investment, a world destroyed by nationalism.
Paul Krugman
The raw fact is that every successful example of economic development this past century ... has taken place via globalization.
Paul Krugman
If you can create even the illusion of high profitability for a few years, then when the thing collapses you can walk out of the wreckage a very rich man.
Paul Krugman
Economics is not a morality play.
Paul Krugman
