As I'm sure many have noticed, Krugman was deriding German "obstructiveness" and "boneheadedness" last December when attacking their response to the recession.

Today, he thinks they're a role model.

Last year he said to "hold your nose" and support the TARP, this year he laments that banker-friendly bailouts are unpopular with voters.

I think it would be useful if he showed his readers how he gets from one view to another and how they are reconciled. As it stands, it just looks like a weather report on which way the wind is blowing.

Vow! I had dinner with a friend over the weekend and he said that Krugman seems very smart but he can’t understand Krugman’s views.

The most important thing to note is that Paul Krugman is a born-and-bred American dope, in the area of economics!, first and anything else, e.g., Nobel Prize winner in economics, after that. Being a born-and-bred America dope trumps all other accomplishments when it comes to understanding the American econo-political system. This handicap is very hard to overcome. Other born-and-bred American dopes (among economists) in the area of economics that have done lot of harm are--Bernanke, Greenspan and Summers.
