Frasi di Paul Krugman

Paul Robin Krugman è un economista e saggista statunitense.

Attualmente professore di Economia e di Relazioni Internazionali all'Università di Princeton, ha vinto il Premio Nobel per l'economia 2008 per la sua analisi degli andamenti commerciali e del posizionamento dell'attività economica in materia di geografia economica. Autore di numerosi volumi, dal 2000 collabora con il New York Times scrivendo editoriali d'opinione bisettimanali.

È famoso nel mondo accademico per i suoi studi riguardanti la teoria del commercio, lavori nei quali espone modelli presentando i vantaggi che le economie dei paesi potrebbero derivare dall'imposizione di barriere protezionistiche, e per i suoi libri di testo sulle crisi valutarie e sull'economia internazionale, in particolare sull'analisi degli effetti reali delle fluttuazioni dei tassi di cambio. È stato critico della New Economy degli anni novanta del XX secolo, dei regimi di cambio fisso dei paesi sud-est asiatici e della Thailandia prima della crisi del 1997, delle politiche attuate dai governi per difendere i cambi fissi sui quali specularono fondi speculativi prima della crisi finanziaria russa del 1998.

La filosofia economica di Krugman può essere descritta come neo-keynesiana. Proprio lui ha tentato di rendere accessibile questo filone degli studi economici in testi divulgativi come "Peddling Prosperity" , nel quale critica le politiche dei Repubblicani nei tardi anni ottanta e nella prima metà degli anni novanta.

È stato, inoltre, apertamente critico verso la politica interna ed estera dell'amministrazione di George W. Bush. È membro del Gruppo dei Trenta dal 1988, che riunisce economisti noti a livello internazionale. Wikipedia

Paul Krugman: Frasi in inglese

“I believe in a relatively equal society, supported by institutions that limit extremes of wealth and poverty. I believe in democracy, civil liberties, and the rule of law. That makes me a liberal, and I’m proud of it.”

Paul Krugman libro The Conscience of a Liberal

Origine: The Conscience of a Liberal (2007), Ch. 13. The Conscience of a Liberal http://books.wwnorton.com/books/detail.aspx?ID=5887. W. W. Norton & Company. 352 pages ISBN 978-0-393-06069-0, 1st edition (2007)

“… politics determine who has the power, not who has the truth.”

The Australian Financial Review, 6 September 2010, p. 15, "Time for Obama to abandon caution". Also seen in the Sacramento Bee http://www.sacbee.com/2010/09/04/3004829/obama-should-aim-high-on-stimulus.html

“To fight this recession the Fed needs more than a snapback; it needs soaring household spending to offset moribund business investment. And to do that, as Paul McCulley of Pimco put it, Alan Greenspan needs to create a housing bubble to replace the Nasdaq bubble. Judging by Mr. Greenspan's remarkably cheerful recent testimony, he still thinks he can pull that off. But the Fed chairman's crystal ball has been cloudy lately; remember how he urged Congress to cut taxes to head off the risk of excessive budget surpluses? And a sober look at recent data is not encouraging.”

"Dubya's Double Dip?" http://www.nytimes.com/2002/08/02/opinion/dubya-s-double-dip.html, The New York Times, 2 August 2002
:It should be noted that Krugman was being sarcastic http://www.cepr.net/index.php/blogs/beat-the-press/when-someone-says-paul-krugman-called-for-greenspan-to-create-a-housing-bubble-back-in-2002-they-are-trying-to-say-that-they-are-either-a-fool-or-a-liar; two weeks later, he wrote an article http://www.nytimes.com/2002/08/16/opinion/mind-the-gap.html warning about the dangers of a housing bubble.

“When the economy is in a depression, scarcity ceases to rule. Productive resources sit idle, so that it is possible to have more of some things without having less of others; free lunches are all around. As a result, all the usual rules of economics are stood on their head; we enter a looking-glass world in which virtue is vice and prudence is folly. Thrift hurts our future prospects; sound money makes us poorer. Moreover, that's the kind of world we have been living in for the past several years, which means that it is a kind of world that students should understand. […] Depression economics is marked by paradoxes, in which seemingly virtuous actions have perverse, harmful effects. Two paradoxes in particular stand out: the paradox of thrift, in which the attempt to save more actually leads to the nation as a whole saving less, and the less-well-known paradox of flexibility, in which the willingness of workers to protect their jobs by accepting lower wages actually reduces total employment. […] In times of depression, the rules are different. Conventionally sound policy – balanced budgets, a firm commitment to price stability – helps to keep the economy depressed. Once again, this is not normal. Most of the time we are not in a depression. But sometimes we are – and 2013, when this chapter was written, was one of those times.”

“Depressions are Different”, in Robert M. Solow, ed. Economics for the Curious: Inside the Minds of 12 Nobel Laureates. 2014.

“Many of those who reject the idea of economic models are ill-informed or even (perhaps unconsciously) intellectually dishonest.”
