Scary

Paul Krugman writes:
 I have 200 students registered for my course on the Great Recession
I wonder if he will start off with his confused and dishonest rendition of the babysitting coupon tale?

Can we get an Austrian in the class, so that he/she can ask incisive questions at key moments, to expose this fraud?

  1. I thought PK stopped being an economists when he became a self-labeled ideologue so he could write his left wing column and books. I don't see how you can teach economics or anything at the college level, when its clear you no longer have an open mind or approach your field with intellectual curiosity. All he can offer is a rote course in his economic views of the GR. You can get that online for a lot less.

  3. Students are free to ask Krugman questions based on Austrian economics.

    Aren't all the problems really caused by govt?

    Is it true we would have 10-15% real GDP growth every year with no recessions if govt simply got out of the way?

    Isn't the true rate of inflation about 300% higher than that reported by govt?

    Should we ever adjust govt spending for inflation since govt creates the inflation?

    Why do we talk about demand for goods and services since consumers are a given because of scarcity?

    1. Learn to speak for yourself, troll. I do not have a slightest wish to be a part of your "we", so would you please stop using this word where it implies that I'm included.

    2. Jerry, by the cluelessness of your questions, you must be a Princeton man. At least if you ask them in class there, you won't be quite the laughingstock you are here.

    3. Krugman would simply throw the infidel out of class for his insolence. Such is the response from charlatan's such as Krugman who can provide no debate but rhetoric to the absolute absurd.

      Krugman will no doubt share with his class his proposed 'economic miracle' for either America's unilateral initiation of WWIII or an Orson Well's type alien invasion . LMAO!

      Wolfgang, you must be either a mindless shill or some sort of public bureaucrat......even worse, probably both!

  5. How great would that be if Bob signed up for his class. Even if he didn't interrupt him at all but merely was there sitting... watching. I'm sure people would approach him and the buzz would be around the room leaving students to go home and do some real "homework" and research on the two. It might even give more support toward an open debate on the subject between the two. If I could I would pay Bob to attend; while remaining respectful (not stooping to disruption as Krugman most likely would). This simple feat would be louder than anything done currently.

    Oh, and by the way. Wearing t-shirts advertising the debate etc. would not be disruptive in my view. Only shouting out and the like. It would as well be fine to respond to Krugman, but I doubt he would give that opportunity. It's only fair when you debate with self made caricatures of others.

    3. @JT, I think even lowering the age level to below age 6 would still be setting the intellectual barrier too high for Krugman's economic incompetence.

  6. Of course, instead of wasting thousands of dollars on a snide little one-trick blowhard, you could read this at your convenience, at no cost other than your commitment of time, and gain infinitely greater insight into the Great Depression than you will ever get from any college class: http://mises.org/rothbard/agd.pdf

  9. After the first day, if the 200 aren't complete morons, they will ask for their money back.

    For Krugman, one would think his fan club would tire of his intellectually pubescent fairy tales. Economics? What a joke! But a lot of inferences can be made of the American mind, educated for 12 long years by A PUBLIC education system that produces an individual lacking in any economic or productive knowledge even barely worth minimum wage when he/she graduates.........DISGUSTING! The 'young mind.....what a terrible thing to waste'.
