I heard today the claim that Paul Krugman predicted the 2008 housing crash and the subsequent crisis. Does anyone know what statement/article of Krugman's this is based on?
Tom Woods talked about it briefly here. He likens it to predicting that the soda you put in the refrigerator will get cold.
Here's some sources:
Krugman DID Identify the Housing Bubble in 2005

What is the difference between Krugman's prediction of the current downturn and the Austrians predictions?

Not exactly on this topic, but just for good measure: Bubble predictions: better late than early
Thanks man, I'm going to do some damage with this!
