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.

More quotes by Paul Krugman
There are no atheists in foxholes and there are no libertarians in financial crises.
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
If you are a good economist, a virtuous economist, you are reborn as a physicist. But if you are an evil, wicked economist, you are reborn as a sociologist.
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
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
Where's that toxic rhetoric coming from? Let's not make a false pretense of balance: it's coming, overwhelmingly, from the right. It's hard to imagine a Democratic member of Congress urging constituents to be armed and dangerous without being ostracized but Representative Michele Bachmann, who did just that, is a rising star in the G.O.P.
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
Wealthy Americans who benefit hugely from a system rigged in their favor react with hysteria to anyone who points out just how rigged the system is.
Paul Krugman
The raw fact is that every successful example of economic development this past century ... has taken place via globalization.
Paul Krugman
Not all private equity people are evil. Only some.
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
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
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
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
Some years down the pike, we're going to get the real solution, which is going to be a combination of death panels and sales taxes. It's going to be that we're actually going to take Medicare under control, and we're going to have to get some additional revenue, probably from a VAT. But it's not going to happen now.
Paul Krugman
...instead it seems that business - like weight loss - is a subject wherein hope and fear inspire limitless gullibility.
Paul Krugman
And when the chickens that didn't hatch come home to roost, we will rue the day when, misled by sloppy accounting and rosy scenarios, we gave away the national nest egg.
Paul Krugman
I have friends, political scientists, sociologists, who all share an interest at least in certain kinds of science fiction.
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.
