More quotes by Paul Krugman
There's one thing that the Fed has been really good at cracking down on, and that's inflation.
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. At this point we're talking about a state of mind that takes positive glee in inflicting further suffering upon the already miserable.
Paul Krugman
The science fiction world has a lot of people doing seriously imaginative thinking.
Paul Krugman
We should try to create the society each of us would want if we didn't know in advance who we'd be.
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
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
Obama is very much an establishment sort of guy. The whole image of him as a transcendent figure was based on style rather than substance. If you actually looked at what he said, not how he said it, he said very establishment things. He's a moderate, cautious, ameliorative guy. He tends to gravitate toward Beltway conventional wisdom.
Paul Krugman
There's nothing magic about spending on tanks and bombs rather than roads and bridges.
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
For most Americans, economic growth is a spectator sport.
Paul Krugman
But where will the Fed find another bubble?
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
The economics profession went astray because economists, as a group, mistook beauty, clad in impressive-looking mathematics, for truth.
Paul Krugman
We have a lot of evidence on what happens when you raise the minimum wage. And the evidence is overwhelmingly positive: Hiking the minimum wage has little or no adverse effect on employment while significantly increasing workers' earnings.
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
Not all private equity people are evil. Only some.
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
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
I believe that the only important structural obstacles to world prosperity are the obsolete doctrines that clutter the minds of men.
Paul Krugman
The great thing about fiscal policy is that it has a direct impact and doesn't require you to bind the hands of future policymakers.
