Paul Krugman Wishes He Had a Bigger Purpose to His Life

Paul Krugman

Economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman writes in his private email letter:

I’ve had a wonderful professional life, getting well paid to do work that I enjoy and even amounts to a vocation. Yet I sometimes feel the hankering for something more — a sense of serving a larger purpose, including being willing to make big sacrifices if necessary.

Oh please, Paul,

Quit writing for the establishment, start writing truth at a web site that is not backed by the establishment (or pretty much anyone else). Learn Austrian school economics without ripping it down without understanding it. That will do it.

But you aren't doing it, Paul, because you aren't tough enough.

You need middle of the bell curve crowds and manipulative sponsors to back up your lack of confidence and internal fortitude.

After you are gone, you are going to be forgotten.
