“[Nel 1999] Adottando l'Euro, l'Italia si è ridotta allo stato di una nazione del Terzo Mondo che deve prendere in prestito una moneta straniera, con tutti i danni che ciò implica.”

“L'UEM non è stata progettata per fare tutti contenti. È stata progettata per mantenere contenta la Germania, per offrire quella severa disciplina antinflazionistica che tutti sanno essere sempre stata desiderata dalla Germania, e che la Germania sempre vorrà in futuro.”

Paul Krugman

“Quando negli anni Novanta citavo l'Italia quale esempio di come i Paesi avanzati possano sopportare pesanti debiti pubblici, non ero naif. All'epoca l'Italia aveva una propria moneta, e il suo debito era denominato in tale valuta, è vero che era ancorata al marco tedesco, ma c'era sempre la possibilità di sganciarsi. Con l'adesione all'euro, l'Italia di fatto si è trasformata macro-economicamente in un Paese del terzo mondo, con i debiti in valuta straniera, e si è esposta a crisi del debito.”

“La strada da seguire, come ha insistito la cancelliera tedesca Angela Merkel, sarebbe un ritorno alla frugalità. L'Europa, ha dichiarato, dovrebbe emulare la casalinga sveva, famosa per la sua parsimonia. Questa era una ricetta per un disastro al rallentatore.”

“Smentiamo quest'invenzione secondo cui il fenomeno Trump rappresenta una qualche specie di imprevedibile intrusione nel normale corso della politica dei Repubblicani. Al contrario, il G. O. P. ha trascorso decenni incoraggiando e sfruttando la stessa rabbia che adesso sta portando il signor Trump alla nomination. Quella rabbia era destinata a sbandare facendo perdere il controllo all'establishment prima o poi. Donald Trump non è un incidente. Il suo partito l'ha visto arrivare.”

“Le depressioni, l'inflazione galoppante o la guerra civile possono rendere un paese povero, ma solo l'aumento di produttività può renderlo ricco.”

“Le regioni che, per motivi storici, iniziano come centri di produzione, attraggono ancora più produttori.”

Paul Krugman: Frasi in inglese

“Where do ideas about economics come from? They come, of course from economists—where by an "economist" I mean someone who thinks and writes regularly about economic issues. But not all economists are alike, and in fact the genus includes two radically distinct species: The professors and the policy entrepreneurs.”

“Holding people accountable for their past is O. K., but imposing a standard of purity, in which any compromise or misstep makes you the moral equivalent of the bad guys, isn’t. Abraham Lincoln didn’t meet that standard; neither did F. D. R. Nor, for that matter, has Bernie Sanders”

“Here, then, is a revised version of Marshall's rules: (1) Figure out what you think about an issue, working back and forth among verbal intuition, evidence, and as much math as you need. (2) Stay with it till you are done. (3) Publish the intuition, the math, and the evidence - all three - in an economics journal. (4) But also try to find a way of expressing the idea without the formal apparatus. (5) If you can, publish that where it can do the world some good.”

“The serious lesson of the antics in Argentina, then, is that the big issues of monetary economics--fixed vs. flexible exchange rates, whether countries should have independent currencies at all--are still wide open. It's an eternal controversy, and not even the pope can resolve it.”

“There is no economic policy. That's really important to say. The general modus operandi of the Bushies is that they don't make policies to deal with problems. They use problems to justify things they wanted to do anyway. So there is no policy to deal with the lack of jobs. There really isn't even a policy to deal with terrorism. It's all about how can we spin what's happening out there to do what we want to do.”

“Now I’m not saying that Keynes was right about everything, that we should treat The General Theory as a sort of secular bible - the way that Marxists treat Das Kapital. But the essential truth of Keynes’s big idea - that even the most productive economy can fail if consumers and investors spend too little, that the pursuit of sound money and balanced budgets is sometimes (not always!) folly rather than wisdom - is as evident in today’s world as it was in the 1930s. And in these dangerous days, we ignore or reject that idea at the world economy’s peril.”

"Is Capitalism Too Productive?", Foreign Affairs (September/October 1997)

“As is often the case with major disputes in economics, the argument over fiscal policy went on for years, with some critics of fiscal policy still defending their position when this book went to press. It seems fair, however, to say that among economists a more or less Keynesian view of the effects of fiscal policy came to prevail. Careful statistical studies at the International Monetary Fund and else where showed that austerity policies have historically been followed by contraction, not expansion. Recent experience, in which countries like Spain and Greece that were forced into severe austerity also experienced severe slumps, seemed to confirm that observation. Furthermore, it was clear that those who had predicted a sharp rise in U. S. interest rates due to budget deficits, leading to conventional crowding out, had been wrong: U. S. long-term interest rates remained near record lows even during the years from 2009 to 2012, when the government ran very large deficits.”

“The kind of economic trouble that Asia experienced a decade ago, and that we're all experiencing now, is precisely the sort of thing we thought we had learned to prevent. In the bad old days big, advanced economies with stable governments-like Britain in the 1920s-might have had no answer to prolonged periods of stagnation and deflation; but between John Maynard Keynes and Milton Friedman, we thought we knew enough to keep that from happening again.”

Introduction
The Return of Depression Economics and The Crisis of 2008 (2009)

“The usual and basic Keynesian answer to recessions is a monetary expansion. But Keynes worried that even this might sometimes not be enough, particularly if a recession had been allowed to get out of hand and become a true depression. Once the economy is deeply depressed, households and especially firms may be unwilling to increase spending no matter how much cash they have, they may simply add any monetary expansion to their board. Such a situation, in which monetary policy has become ineffective, has come to be known as a "liquidity trap"; Keynes believed that the British and American economies had entered such a trap by the mid-1930s, and some economists believed that the United States was on the edge of such a tap in 1992.
The Keynesian answer to a liquidity trap is for the government to do what the private sector will not: spend. When monetary expansion is ineffective, fiscal expansion—such as public works programs financed by borrowing—must take its place. Such a fiscal expansion can break the vicious circle of low spending and low incomes, "priming the pump: and getting the economy moving again. But remember that this is not by any means an all-purpose policy recommendation; it is essentially a strategy of desperation, a dangerous drug to be prescribed only when the usual over-the-counter remedy of monetary policy has failed.”

“If Keynes was Luther, Friedman was Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuits. And like the Jesuits, Friedman’s followers have acted as a sort of disciplined army of the faithful, spearheading a broad, but incomplete, rollback of Keynesian heresy. By the century’s end, classical economics had regained much though by no means all of its former dominion, and Friedman deserves much of the credit.”

“Consider John Kenneth Galbraith or Lester Thurow, both leading economists in the view of the general public, both with all the formal qualifications, both totally ignored by the academic mainstream. Or consider Robert Mundell, who is still revered for his contributions to international monetary theory, yet whose later incarnation as the father of supply-side economics has similarly been ignored.”

“So the story of the baby-sitting co-op is not a mere amusement. If people would only take it seriously—if they could only understand that when great economic issues are at stake, whimsical parables are not a waste of time but the key to enlightenment—it is a story that could save the world.”

“I know that when I look at today’s Mexicans and Central Americans, they seem to me fundamentally the same as my grandparents seeking a better life in America. On the other side, however, open immigration can’t coexist with a strong social safety net; if you’re going to assure health care and a decent income to everyone, you can’t make that offer global. So Democrats have mixed feelings about immigration; in fact, it’s an agonizing issue.”
