Paul Krugman Video for Big Think on 2009 Economy
global trends: economy
IT’S NOT HARD TO PREDICT, NOW THAT WE’RE IN THE MIDDLE
Thirty years ago, not many people were looking forward to this transition. Not even a few year ago. Otherwise, books like Michael Mandeville’s 2003 book, The Coming Economic Collapse, would have been best sellers.
Now that we’ve experienced the last quarter of 2008, detailed info what what comes next is available online if you want to read it.
Our focus is help folks get through the mess, but also to realize that life on the other side will be much different, and can become very positive and life supporting. Each Monday we’ll try to post a few articles touching on the immediate 2009 economy, what comes after the meltdown, and how to survive and thrive with your business.
Economist Paul Krugman was one of the few voices of dissent during the early Bush-2 administration when most everyone was in lockstep.
“Normal rules do not apply as long as depression economics prevails.” Paul Krugman

Be excellent,

Krugman received more than a Nobel Prize for his astute observations. He has been hounding Obama Economic thought since the run for the presidency began.
After winning the job as President, Obama fired back at Krugman and said this:
"Obama: ‘If Paul Krugman has a good idea…then we’re going to do it.’»"

Krugman writes often at the NY Times and has another day job as Economist.
I suspect he will be in Washington DC often in the next 8 years…..and rightly so.

Thanks, Danny.
I imagine it was a lonely position for Paul to take early in President Bush's first administration. I am pleased that President-elect Obama appears to be taking advice from him and other critical thinkers.
