  Andrew Sullivan vs. Paul Krugman - By Jack Shafer - Slate Magazine
He seems to want Krugman to declare all conflicts of interests, all appearances of conflict of interest, all potential conflicts of interest, all historically possible conflicts of interests (retroactive for five years), and all imagined conflicts of interest.
Krugman is especially vulnerable to the conflict-of-interest charge because he seems to believe strongly in guilt by association.
Then on January 18, Krugman went back to the well and suggested that new SEC chairman Pitt can't be trusted because he used to work for the accounting firms.

 Paul Krugman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Krugman was born and grew up on Long Island, and majored in economics as an undergraduate at Yale.
Krugman's high profile has turned him into a target of heavy criticism, and sometimes even personal attacks, by his detractors, as well as praise from a growing body of fans.
In the 1990s Paul Krugman's focus was on what can be described as policy economics, which he attempted to explain to the general audience in such works as "Peddling Prosperity" and columns attacking what he described as "policy entrepreneurs" who were focused single mindedly on particular solutions which they proposed as solving every conceivable crisis.

 Paul Krugman, Witness to the Great Unraveling of America - BuzzFlash Interview
Krugman would be the last to lay claim to any heroic insight into the radical, incompetent Bush administration.
Paul Krugman: Well, you know, just about a year ago, in one of the new columns in my book, I said that the stakes are very high for the Bushies, because we all know that there are terrible suppressed scandals.

 "Comparative Advantage" by Nicholas Confessore
But Krugman, noting that economists had long worried about the vulnerability of California's trading system to price-fixing, argued that market manipulation was the obvious culprit; otherwise, he wrote in March 2001, the power company executives "are either saints or very bad businessmen." Krugman was ignored at the time.
Krugman was not, and is not, the only person in America who believes that the Bush administration is in cahoots with interests out to bilk Americans and pervert the political process.
It's worth noting, moreover, that Krugman was passed over for a Clinton economic post for precisely the qualities that make him such an effective Bush critic: His peevishness; his confidence--bordering on arrogance--in his own ideas; his lack of concern for the niceties of political or bureaucratic culture, and his resulting isolation from Washington life.

 Profile: Paul Krugman | Special reports | Guardian Unlimited
The letters that Paul Krugman receives these days have to be picked up with tongs, and his employer pays someone to delete the death threats from his email inbox.
In it, Krugman describes how, just as he was about to send his manuscript to the publishers, he chanced upon a passage in an old history book from the 1950s, about 19th-century diplomacy, that seemed to pinpoint, with eerie accuracy, what is happening in the US now.
Which is how, as Krugman sees it, the Bush administration managed to sell tax cuts as a benefit to the poor when the result will really be to benefit the rich, and why they managed to rally support for war in Iraq with arguments for which they didn't have the evidence.

 Paul Krugman, New York Times Columnist and Author of "The Great Unraveling: Losing Our Way in the New ...
But, as an economics professor, Krugman is most on his game when he exposes the bumbling, tragic farce of the fraud known as Bush economics (something that might have been created by the Keystone Cops if they had turned sides and become robbers).
Krugman reveals the Bush Cartel for the greedy, reckless, incompetent hustlers that they are.
KRUGMAN: Your personal life, your professional life, is much easier if you oscillate between reverential pieces about the commander in chief and cynical pieces which equate minor foibles on one side with grotesque lies or deceptions on the other.

 The Conspiracy to Keep You Poor and Stupid
For Paul Krugman, it's tantamount to a guilty plea that he would link to Alterman's amoral and bigoted statement in the very first word of his self-defense yesterday.
Krugman ignores the reality that Mahathir has, according to the Anti-Defamation League, a "long record of anti-Semitism and belief in a Jewish conspiracy to bring about the downfall of Malaysia." And he never cites one word of Mahathir's that would suggest he is even cognizant of US policy.
Krugman's rhetorical strategy for some time now has been to assert that to disagree with his opinion is to lie, to advocate policies which conflict with his is to be "political," and to have a different vision of America's future is to be part a "radical regime." But this is a new twist.

Krugman’s first set of academic papers, published in the late 1970s, was the most important departure to date from the Ricardian theory of comparative advantage, which had ruled the field of international trade since the 19th century.
Krugman’s research pointed out that the theory, which predicted that international trade occurs when countries have different endowments, was at odds with the data.

 http://www.qando.net/ - Paul Krugman
Paul Krugman is a very credible economist, but his punditry descended long ago into outright shilling.
For my part, I was convinced that Paul Krugman had abandoned any pretense of objectivity when, during a Presidential campaign marked by very misguided protectionist policy prescriptions from Democrats, Krugman—who made his entire career on establishing the merits of free trade—failed to once criticize any of them.
It is not the Krugman thinks it is an ideal situation for taxes to be higher; rather, it is a reaction to the miss we are in.

Paul Krugman leans back in his chair, arms behind his head, relishing his notoriety.

Back to Paul Krugman on the Great Wealth Transfer
It's the biggest untold economic story of our time: more of the nation's bounty held in fewer and fewer hands.
But it is not hard to foresee, in the current state of our political and economic scene, the outline of a transformation into a permanently unequal society -- one that locks in and perpetuates the drastic economic polarization that is already dangerously far advanced.
