Paul Krugman Rides Into The Sunset

The Mises Institute reports that after 25 years as a columnist for the New York Times, Paul Krugman is finally retiring from that position. Krugman’s columns played a significant role in his winning the Nobel Prize in economics in 2008. However, his influence has not been positive, as he is a disciple of John Maynard Keynes and has promoted Keynesian economic schemes. Despite his hagiographic peers praising him, Krugman’s economic theories have been criticized for lacking logical reasoning and understanding of basic economic principles. His support for government spending as the key to economic prosperity and his dismissal of Austrian economics further highlight his flawed economic perspectives. Ultimately, Krugman’s retirement comes after a controversial career filled with questionable economic theories and predictions. Those who challenge the wisdom of unrestricted government spending are the true adversaries of the people.

During a Southern Economic Association conference in 2004, I questioned Krugman about his support for the 70 percent tax rates that were in place before 1981. “No,” he responded firmly, “Those rates were unreasonable!” However, when Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez proposed reinstating 70 percent marginal rates in 2019, Krugman stated that he believed those rates were “justifiable.” Undoubtedly, he would attribute this change of opinion to personal “growth” or a natural evolution in his thinking.

In reality, advocating for an all-powerful government that, as Keynes put it, can miraculously turn “stones into bread” through excessive spending and the creation of new credit does not necessitate personal development or maturity. Rather, it signifies a mindset that favors illusions over reality, falsehoods over truths. Paul Krugman can retire contentedly, knowing that he has legitimized the utilization of unchecked state authority instead of the mutually beneficial transactions that define the marketplace.
