Punches Thrown: Krugman versus Mankiw

Krugman: I don’t know what Greg actually believes, he just seems to be approvingly linking to anyone opposed to stimulus, regardless of the quality of their argument.


Mankiw: If Paul really wants to know what I believe, he can read what I have written on the subject....In recent weeks, I have linked...partly to provide a counterpoint to the view disingenuously promoted by some members of the incoming administration that almost all major economists are lined up behind their stimulus plans. As Paul's list of prominent stimulus skeptics documents well, that is simply not the case.
