A bit of definitional work on the use of the word "hard" before a left or right political judgment. It generally connotes an ideologue, not open to discussion, debate; not open to evidence; just locked into a position. That's not Krugman. He's very evidence based. His disagreements with Obama are based, generally, on different means to get to similar goals. As for Sam Bowles, you can find his wikipedia page here. en.wikipedia.org Very interesting intellectual. PhD from Harvard in economics; was quite frankly screwed when he came up for tenure there.
