Noah on Kruggers

 Noah Smith talks about Kruggers as he (Kruggers) writes his last column for the NY Times. I did not even know about this!

Kruggers was possibly the most readable economist since the late Joan Robinson. When he wrote a blog it was essential reading. Apparently he is going to substack!

Whoopsy

I should add two things

1. Kruggers has not been wrong very often. I remember David Glasner getting the better of him on the gold standard but David is possibly the only person who understood the gold standard.I think it was Brad De Long who said something like if you think Kruggers is wrong then have a log think about it and then have another because it is likely you are wrong.
2. I do remember Tyler Cowen interviewing Kruggers ostensibly about a book he had written. He actually did not say a word about his book but on the origins of the GFC alah the USA. Greg Mankiw was so impressed he linked the whole thing!
