Krugman is a MUCH more mainstream economist than any from here:

en.wikipedia.org

"Most economists are critical of the current-day Austrian School and consider its rejection of econometrics and other tools of aggregate macroeconomic analysis to be outside of mainstream economic theory, or " heterodox"."

Steve, this is an endless discussion with you. Let me simply state my position on this one. There are two dramatic evidences of Krugman's influence within economics: the Nobel Prize and the numbers of citations.

He is the 20th most widely cited economist in the world today [12] and is ranked among the most influential academic thinkers in the US. [13]

From wikipedia.

That's about as strong evidence of influence as there is. Definitely not an extremist.
