Actually, Krugman has everything to lose by accepting this challenge, and that's the beauty of it. He has the reputation of a Nobel laureate and leading champion of Keynesian theory. He can't risk being exposed as a charlatan.

On the other hand, as the pledge total grows, how can he refuse to help provide so much food to the poor?

The pledge total is now $42,925 by a total of 651 people.

It's all silliness. Krugman's debates with Harvard's Fergusson who is a conservative are interesting and intellectually compelling. Just throwing bromides back and forth with this guy is a waste of time. It's a childish challenge anyway.
