Paul Krugman is a hack. Everything he did was entirely derivative of what others had already done. Also, the Paul Krugman who won the Nobel Prize would have agreed with me, but the Paul Krugman who sold his soul for popularity and demagogic power knows less about economics than practically everyone.

All the same, you can of course find a few economists out there who will agree with you. Not at all impossible. There is a Nobel Prize winning economist who actually thinks central planning will work, and who supports the regime in Venezuela, after all. So being a Nobel Prize winning economist doesn’t necessarily mean anything other than that they were good in their narrow specialty.

You’re in denial of economic reality, and you mistake your feelings and your hatred of anyone who isn’t an American blind as reality. Everything you stand for is founded in ignorance and misanthropy and you ought to be ashamed of holding such disgusting, poverty-creating opinions. Get out of your bubble of ignorance, where you only ever find fools who back up your foolishness to read, discard your pathetic folk economics, and learn something for a change. This exchange is truly an embarrassment on your part.
