Greenspan apparently believed in the "efficient markets" theories. Even when the evidence against them had grown to overwhelming. More than a few books on how the last, say, fifteen years have blown that out of the water. Not Krugman.

I've seen Steve's evidence of Krugman and the housing bubble. I suspect, given the timing of those quotes, he was in very good company. I also recall that as Dean Baker and others were talking about selling their houses and camping out in the local park as a way to carry themselves through the coming housing crisis, Krugman was one with them.
