Economists FU-Berlin M.I.T. Popular Economics Syllabus

Paul Krugman, academic scribbles and glimpses of yore and not so yore.

 

Adam Tooze’s review of Paul Krugman’s Arguing with Zombies: Economics, Politics and the Fight for a Better Future (London Review of Books, Vol. 43, No. 8, 22 April 2021) has received much deserved social media acclaim.

Since you are here now looking at economics in my rear-view mirror, I thought it as good a time as any to assemble a few links from this blog and Freie Universität Berlin that go back a decade and more. Krugman’s adoring fans and fiercest critics are welcome.
