I Lol’d on your comment about krugman to the ladies!

It is from my experience living in a country which attempted top down macro management from which I draw the conclusion that it is the most destructive and soul sucking system imaginable.

Of course, I don’t for a moment think that Krugman believes it will work. It’s just that he thinks he’ll be at the top of the heap in such a system and he’ll finally extract the worship from the masses he desires. Let’s face it, he doesn’t look like he was ever popular with the ladies and judging from the comments those who know him personally have made, the man is no joy to be around. Having power over people is pretty much the only way for him to force people to be nice to him. Call me cynical, but like I said, I have some experience with a top-down system and the people who thrived in it.

Personally I don’t see top down macro management working, but that is just from my experience with modeling complex adaptive systems. Some might say that computer models are biased, but it is from my experience that I derive my following if Hayek. It’s not that ignore Keynes, just think Hayek is better.

Steven Landsburg is too kind to Krugman. I believe that Krugman deliberately ignores economics when he writes columns that pander to leftist compatriots and to the Obama administration. He remembers economics, but he abandons ethics.
