More quotes by Paul Krugman
Republican candidates had to appeal to their base, which is by and large elderly white people arguing with empty chairs.
Paul Krugman
The public has no idea that the deficit has been falling like a stone.
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
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
Politics determines who has the power, not who has the truth.
Paul Krugman
But where will the Fed find another bubble?
Paul Krugman
Outrageous fiscal mendacity is neither historically normal nor bipartisan. It’s a modern Republican thing.
Paul Krugman
If Europe’s example is any guide, here are the two secrets of coping with expensive oil: own fuel-efficient cars, and don’t drive them too much.
Paul Krugman
Bad ideas flourish because they are in the interest of powerful groups.
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
Can we break the machine that is imposing right-wing radicalism on the United States? The scariest part is that the media is part of that machine.
Paul Krugman
We're living in a Dark Age of macroeconomics. Remember, what defined the Dark Ages wasn’t the fact that they were primitive — the Bronze Age was primitive, too. What made the Dark Ages dark was the fact that so much knowledge had been lost, that so much known to the Greeks and Romans had been forgotten by the barbarian kingdoms that followed.
Paul Krugman
Generous unemployment benefits can increase both structural and frictional unemployment. So government policies intended to help workers can have the undesirable side effect of raising the natural rate of unemployment.
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
Tax cuts were not going to be effective at creating jobs, and the job creation record is lousy.
Paul Krugman
For most Americans, economic growth is a spectator sport.
Paul Krugman
Economics is not a morality play.
Paul Krugman
...instead it seems that business - like weight loss - is a subject wherein hope and fear inspire limitless gullibility.
Paul Krugman
I've always believed in expansionary monetary policy and if necessary fiscal policy when the economy is depressed.
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.
