Reply #7: It's the Economics Behind It [View All]

[LoneStarLiberal]

Krugman has CREDIBILITY that most of us do not possess because he's not only a PhD but a professor and not only a professor but a professor with reputable publications and a reputation for intellectual rigor.

In many cases economics, much like my own field of political science, is as much of an art as it is a science when you want to defend your views or attack those of other people in the field. In order to do so in a credible manner, you really need a good grasp of the intricacies of the field.

Krugman has that.
