I won't even try to defend Clinton <G>... Yet, I think Bush could have surrounded himself with better and more open-minded advisors (IMO, Cheney has a lot of baggage and is quickly becoming a big liability -- stay tuned and you'll see what I mean). Mr. Krugman may have actually brought up some good points in his New York Times article AND according to his bio (that I have listed below) you'll see he's quite a bright man. In fact, he lead a group of economists who advised Ronald Reagan in the early 80s...=) New York Times COLUMNIST BIOGRAPHY Paul Krugman <<Paul Krugman joined The Times on October 7, 1999 as a columnist on the Op-Ed Page and continues as the Ford International Professor of Economics at MIT. He received his B.A. from Yale University in 1974, and his Ph.D. from MIT in 1977. From 1977 to 1979 he taught at Yale; then moved to MIT, where he remained on the faculty from 1979 to 1994, he then moved to Stanford from 1994 until 1996. In 1982-3, on leave from MIT, he served as chief international economist of the Council of Economic Advisers.* Mr. Krugman is the author or editor of 16 books and more than 200 papers in professional journals and edited volumes. His professional reputation rests largely on work in international trade and finance; he is one of the founders of the "new trade theory," a major rethinking of the theory of international trade. In recognition of that work, in 1991 the American Economic Association awarded him its John Bates Clark medal, a prize given every two years to "that economist under forty who is adjudged to have made a significant contribution to economic knowledge." Mr. Krugman's current academic research is focussed on the application of ideas from complexity theory and the concept of self-organizing systems to economics. At the same time, Mr. Krugman has written extensively for a broader public audience, including a monthly column under the byline "The Dismal Scientist" for the Internet magazine Slate. Some of his recent articles on economic issues, originally published in Foreign Affairs, Harvard Business Review, Scientific American, and other journals, are reprinted in his latest book, Pop Internationalism. Mr. Krugman was born on February 28, 1953.>> nytimes.com *Council of Economic Advisers - provides the President with objective economic analysis and advice on the development and implementation of a wide range of domestic and international economic policy issues
