You Don't Have To Be An Economist To Say Really Stupid Things

Posted on 06/26/2007 10:31:21 | Link | Post Comment
Mark Thoma writes today,
One thing many people don't realize is that there is often a lot more behind the opinion pieces written by people like Paul Krugman, Greg Mankiw, Hal Varian, Dani Rodrik, Tyler Cowen, George Borjas, Robert Barro, Martin Feldstein, and others than it appears on the surface. That's not true in every case, but it is generally true when reputable economists weigh in on an issue.
Indeed, "not true in every case." For example:
"I predict that in the years ahead Enron, not Sept. 11, will come to be seen as the greater turning point in U.S. society."

--Paul Krugman, January 29, 2002

Perhaps better we don't know about the "lot more behind" that one.
