"The general understanding that macroeconomics is more than supply and demand plus the quantity equation — somehow got lost in much of the profession."
(It's from an old article, but found it hilarious coming from Krugman."
The truth would be that macro vs. micro is a false dichotomy.
Krugman also said in November, 2004:
"My prediction is that politicians will eventually be tempted to resolve the [fiscal] crisis the way irresponsible governments usually do: by printing money, both to pay current bills and to inflate away debt. And as that temptation becomes obvious, interest rates will soar."
A very true and prescient statement by Krugman. Of course, today, now that it's happening under a Democrat, he doesn't seem to say it anymore.
If only they could get supply and demand right..
Absolutely:).
"My prediction is that politicians will eventually be tempted to resolve the [fiscal] crisis the way irresponsible governments usually do: by printing money, both to pay current bills and to inflate away debt. And as that temptation becomes obvious, interest rates will soar"
This makes me wonder how many times Krugman contradicted himself.
