8 THOUGHTS ON “Experts Ain’t What They Used to Be”
You could read any random Krugman article for an example if you need one.
My favorite was when he wrote about how misundertood yutes breaking windows was good for the economy because it provided work for window makers, sellers and installers.
Yep, broken-window theory.
A classical economic fallacy, easily debunked.
It’s beyond me how Krugman keeps a job, never mind got a Nobel Prize.
Every column of his I ever read was utter BS.
His job isn’t to provide information, it’s to provide affirmation.
Really? They were wrong when I was a kid, too.
Well, yeah okay, back in my day, too, experts may have occasionally been wrong;
but they were seldom Reich-level wrong and still retained their rank of “expert.”
Not sure that’s entirely true, though.
Hey, I’m no expert
(What? Nah, no story, just an offhand rant)
