Krugman Vs Spain

Its long, bits in Spanish but its a great clash of Krugman's view with a diametrically opposing view.

    Krugman is getting beaten up all over the place at the moment. Ever since he got that Nobel prize and was raised as a false prophet he has become punch bag number one.

    He deserves all the stick he is currently getting.:rotfl:

    Here is another debate he loses on Newsnight a couple of weeks again.

    Did you link to the correct youtube video?
    All I saw was Krugman pummeling Leadsom and that Tory donor, or as one comment puts it :
    Christ, this is a humiliating mismatch. A pair of chickens fed to a lion.

    Leadsom & Molton put forward empirical arguments. Krugman said it was "too complicated to explain his concepts" and that they had "missed the point" and you thought that was a marvellous display of intellectual prowess?

    Laughable.
