  1. Nothing to see here, just keeping track of this Paul Krugman article:

    "What Happens When Americans Realize How Miserable We Are?
    Life is about more than GDP"

  2. Nobel laureate Paul Krugman predicts Strait of Hormuz will remain closed due to Trump's pride, ignorance, and Iran's distrust of U.S. agreements, as Wall Street's NACHO meme replaces optimistic TACO outlook on diplomatic resolution prospects.

  3. Kevin Warsh is Trump's Sock Puppet

    There is a whole debate to be had about the political economy of "independent" and "technocratic" central bankers, but in the meantime let us note that Krugman is probably correct in his prediction that Kevin Warsh will be Trump's obedient servant at the Fed.

  4. 1/2 The unseating of Orban and Fidesz in #Hungary is a huge win for #Democracy everywhere. Why ?
    I remember the first signs that the Fidesz playbook early on leaned heavily #Fascist. Then #PaulKrugman along with regional academics helped alert the world to what was going on there, particularly the early hijacking of institutions and the judiciary. Orban’s authoritarian alignments didn’t waste any time appointing cronies.
    So here we are, nearly a decade later. Hungary is taking first steps…

  5. Paul Krugman asks, is the era of American immigration truly over? His latest piece examines how a dramatic decline in immigration, fueled by restrictive policies, is contributing to labor shortages and potentially higher inflation. This critical analysis offers vital insights into the nation's economic future. Read Krugman's insightful take here: paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the #Immigration #Economy #USPolitics #PaulKrugman

  6. As for oil, #PaulKrugman points out there's no way to significantly reduce oil usage in the short term, other than by reducing personal use of petrol-powered cars.

    Doing it on the supply side is prohibitive (you'd need fuel prices to increase by, say, 100-200 % in the USA; or, even less likely, ration fuel). On the demand side I guess you can pay people to commute by bike or public transport. Both options are probably cheaper than the usual #FossilSubsidies.

  7. Via #paulkrugman: "During a meeting with #Japan’s Prime Minister, Donald #Trump was asked why the U.S. didn’t inform its allies before attacking #Iran. He replied, “Because we wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor?”

  8. 1/n #Foreign and #Domestic Emergencies Dept : All I can say in this particular instance is that after some decades in change of checking in you get a sense of good people doing what they do. #PaulKrugman is probably more concerned here than he’s letting on…
    What are the direct consequences of what he’s talking about ? The #EU , #Canada and #China would likely be first outside the US to detect shenanigans. What would…

  9. 🌍 ■ Paul Krugman, Nobel de Economía: "Todos los aliados de EEUU ya consideran a China un socio más fiable que Trump" ■ El Nobel de Economía en 2008 asegura que "las acciones de Trump han reducido drásticamente el respeto del mundo por Estados Unidos" y cita las numerosas razones que lo han[…]

  10. Attack of the Zombie Tariffs

    Paul Krugman asks: why do “zombie” tariffs keep coming back—raising prices and risking retaliation even when their benefits are thin? He warns trade policy can become political theater, not strategy. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/att #Trade #Economy #Tariffs #Policy #PaulKrugman

    The MAGA Bubble Is Imploding

    “Attorney General #PamBondi’s meltdown on Wednesday while being questioned the House Judiciary Committee was exceptional, even by this administration’s rock-bottom standards.

    Has any high-level official ever before shrieked at a member of Congress, “You don’t tell me anything, you washed-up, loser lawyer”?
