What does /econ/ think of Paul Krugman? Anytime I usually see him mentioned on 8chan, it's people shitting on him.
If you hate him, can you give a specific reason why?
No.132
I dunno much about him but he seems to say some pretty ideologically contradictory things, in terms of what I feel makes political/economic sense.
That being said, I imagine most of the hate on him comes from people who've never read a word he wrote. I've read articles by him before and he seems like a pretty decent economist to me.

>>130I understand the Krugman hate, but he's about as smart as "establishment" economists get if you
actually read him.
No.135
>>134Read his books or his articles or his econ papers? Would you recommend anything from him to read?
No.147
When somebody is forcing him to be rigorous, I have no complaints. His blog posts and articles are sloppy and annoying, I usually get what he's talking about but he overstates his case and omits evidence that goes against his point, which is why people have so much ammo to attack him.

He's a funny one. A good economist who has an ideological commitment to the left that has grown stronger over the last few years, to the point where he no longer believes in economics.
