I think it’s funny to watch the response of the blogosphere every time Krugman claims demand curves slope upward. He does it on a fairly regular basis, and every time everyone writes an article refuting him. You, Sumner, Cowen, Mankiw, and the other Rizzo all get quite excited. Krugman’s defenses of free trade earlier in his career were quite good, but his macro leaves something to be desired.

Sadly, imho, Krugman long ago ceased to be a legitimate and trustworthy source of economic logic. He’s now little more than a leftist, statist shill. Though it is scary that he has so many followers.

Thanks, Wintercow. I had not known what a Manticore was.

Of course Paul Krugman has not the slightest idea of what it means to employ anyone, another reason to suspect that his writings are worthless babblings.

Paul thinks that by raising the minimum wage that everything else that is tied to it will somehow benefit the working class, or the class that is hardly working. He is stuck in his ideology. If you were spared some of that, I’m happy, but I’m sick of it. He refuses to move on beyond 1969.

What’s more, he’s consistently been wrong, making himself a good indicator of what the future holds.

Save your analysis in your achives, so I can quote it in my book.

Or save it for your book.
