Krugman In Wonderland

Superfreak said:
You are going to get Darla into a frenzy with such an attack on her beloved Krugman... and yes, it is an attack because it dares to criticize the partisan for what he is.

I don't see what's so great about the Austrian school and that's what Anderson supports. He's every bit the right-wing partisan also.

What exactly does the Austrian school have to do with my comments? I can't say I have read much of what Anderson writes, so I will have to take your word on the fact that he is an Austrian school of thought and that he is a partisan as well.

I looked him up.

William L. Anderson is an author and an associate professor of economics at Frostburg State University in Maryland. He is also an adjunct scholar with the Mackinac Center for Public Policy as well as for the Ludwig von Mises Institute in Alabama.
Anderson was formerly a professor of economics at North Greenville College in Tigerville, South Carolina.
Anderson writes extensive commentaries on current issues from a pro-free market Austrian perspective, with columns appearing regularly on the libertarian website, LewRockwell.com. In 2006, one of his primary topics of interest was analyzing the evidence and media coverage of what turned out to be false rape charges by Crystal Gail Mangum against several young males at Duke University.
He is also a Libertarian critic of the policies of the widely read economist, Paul Krugman, and regularly criticizes many of Paul Krugman's policies in his blog Krugman in Wonderland, LewRockwell.com and elsewhere.[SUP][1][/SUP]

Wouldn't it be better to criticise his assessment of Krugman rather than just attacking his credentials? My main criticism of Krugman is he was warning about the high levels of government debt during the Bush era, quite rightly, yet now he is all for even more QE and deficit spending.

So he is a libertarian and not far right? Ok... glad we got that cleared up. Still has no bearing on my earlier comments.

You main criticism of Krugman is basically that he's a Keynesian.

When a person says 'this is my position' and you follow up with 'no, I am going to tell you what your position is'... you take over as village idiot for yurt. But not to worry, you still have Desh beneath you on the intellectual ladder.

Aox's criticism of Krugman is he criticized deficits during times of economic expansion and insisted on deficits during times of economic contraction and recovery, which is rudimentary Keynesian econmics.
