Bob Murphy Explains Krugman Debate

[DrNikol2007]

If you are strong believer in Austrian Economics the it is a religion. Why will you suggest a religion as a way to explain the American Economy.

Krugman is famous economist ant you are nobody; why wood he legitimize an economic crumb like you in debating you?

Austrian economic thought failed to prove itself as a good theory in two long periods for the last 150 years.

[TheManiacalSatanist6]

Paul Krugman isn't going to debate simply because he's not getting grilled on this subject in the media when he makes his appearances. He's going to have to be grilled constantly in every media appearance he makes before he actually consents. You'll also notice that he says constantly that, "Real economists can safely ignore the Austrians" but people are waking up to the fact that Krugman is a pretentious bastard.

I'll donate if the winner also rips out the heart of the loser, and takes a bite out of its still-beating, bloody mass.

I'll 10x my donation if the winner is Murphy...

Does Murphy support a gold standard?

[TheManiacalSatanist6]

@DCUPtoejuice Murphy is an Anarcho-Capitalist, so most likely.

[HeyItzMeDawg]

@DCUPtoejuice I'm pretty sure Murphy supports a market standard, which is to say that he supports whichever the market would actually choose to back currencies. That may be gold or silver... or it could be something unusual, like Bitcoin.

[DMU555]

@DCUPtoejuice Not necessarily a gold standard. Just A standard.

MAKE THIS HAPPEN

[Wesker1982]

This is a genius idea. Murphy ftw.

[voskresene]

I would love to see this happen. After seeing Krugman participate in a panel debate on government healthcare, there is no doubt in my mind Murph would eat his lunch.

[gadcad98]

honestly we need to get Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert involved, it's the only way i can see The Krug forced into a debate with Bob, in which The Krug would lose horribly

[waddyprocess]

Bob needs a better teleprompter.

[gunsandbullhorns]

I'm gonna' get me a credit card so I can make the pledge. ...but Krugman doesn't have the huevos to debate economics with an Austrian. He crapped his pants when some kid called-in to CSPAN and roasted him on behalf of the Austrian School. If he couldn't handle that kid, then there's no way he can handle debate with a professional Austrian.

[s0beit]

No Bob! Your pledges are creating a liquidity trap!

[pretorious700]

I love Bob, but he resembles a character from a Warner Bros. cartoon.

[BachGuitar3]

So cool. Murphy YOU ROCK period. Im tiered of learning keynesian nonsense in school. Seeing this really inspires me to keep reading and studying Austrian Economics. AUSTRIAN 4 LIFE!

[Bardhylius]

Bob, behind! It's Galbraith!!.. in your shelf.

[xhypn0tiiqx]

I'm just glad that Robert Murphy doesn't have a gay-as-hell beard.

[Hackiesacker007]

you should debate Ben Bernanke.

[oucanemailme]

Wow, Bob you kinda look like a zombie I've seen...lol...well done!

[johnbranflake]

Dan brown books Bob? I thought better of you.

[Envisionism]

Go Bob Go

[njedinjedi]

Bob is great but he needs to be a bit more concise than in his Mises talks, otherwise he'll beat Krugman technically but Krugman will make it appear he won with a few rhetorical flourishes

[mangoswiss]

What an excellent idea!

[BobbyW3363]

You are the most bad-ass nerd ever. Or you are nerdiest bad-ass ever. I'll pledge $50.

[JacobSpinney]

Kruuuuuugmannnnnn looks like you're loooosennnnn, losen your miiiiiiiiiiiind.

[K46620]

@JacobSpinney Dr. Murphy... check out Spinney's new 50 minute video "The State Is Not Great: How Government Poisons Everything " next time you want to watch a movie. You'll love it!

[djussila]

Will the debate be at the Mises Institute Bob? If so, do you really think Krugman will fly all the way to Alabama?

[midwestcharm]

Krugman is a politically clouded paper printer. Good luck Mr Murphy, but Krugman believes in secrecy of the Fed, ponzi theories and markets driven by socialist economic management, so those types never want debate, they want platforms where only their views are pushed by fear and name calling.
