However you wish. I hardly think Krugman a "bully" unless you think his arguments are too strong for his opponents to withstand. He always gives reasons for his positions as far as I can tell. And for whom and what is he a "mouthpiece"? He isn't working for any corporation or think tank I know of and simply speaks his mind. He is politically "liberal" in the traditional US sense. Now that political discourse in the US has shifted so markedly to the right, this may make him seem more "leftist" than he would have seemed to be twenty or so years ago. He is far from alone in his views: numerous other important economists agree: Stiglitz (also Nobel winner) and Thoma and DeLong and most of those you can read on Calculated Risk. US economists are amusingly divided into "freshwater ones" (U of Chicago and Midwestern) and "saltwater" ones (those at universities on the two coasts). Krugman and Stiglitz represent the saltwater school.
