Peer-reviewed study finds Keynesian Paul Krugman is the most partisan economist. Krugman was the only economist to "significantly" change his stances for partisan reasons. Krugman has even gone so far as to contradict his own findings to bash Republican politicians.

The peer-reviewed research was published in May 2010 issue of the Econ Journal Watch (EJW), edited by Daniel B. Klein.

Seven Nobel laureates are members of the EJW Advisory Council

My greatest dream (I'm being somewhat 'humorous' FYI) would be to watch a faceoff between Paul Krugman and Peter Schiff.

[mustang607]

Where is Peter Schiff? He was the one who predicted the crisis in the most accurate details well before others started even talking about the possibility of a recession.

who is Robin Wells? why she was invited to this panel? she blame Japan, China, & Germany for having a huge trade surpluses against the US and funded the housing bubble etc. Instead of saying the american (private and public) overspent and borrowed too much, she blamed it on the counties that produce and save... then she turned around and say protectionisim, raise taxes, and expand goverment spending...

What a surprise.... they all agree that government is the solution of the problem and had ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with all the misallocation of capital that was the cause of this crisis.

Sometimes I feel the need to argue the case that all economists should be shot.

[amazingyou1uber]

@Justbeatit999 What a surprise...someone who thinks that government is ALWAYS the problem.

[Justbeatit999]

@amazingyou1uber

You can present to me a case in which government actually solved a problem?

[spacemonkey086]

I'm wondering if this was after the whole public Krugman vs Ferguson debate. I thought that whole exchange was very entertaining.

[vikramkrishnan]

@spacemonkey086 This was the Krugman-Ferguson debate
