  • I am Sure Paul Krugman disliked his video as well.

  • I love how all Krugman videos on YouTube have about a 50% "like" rating no matter what. Considering that YouTube users far tend to be young and left-wing statists, that just goes to show you how full of shit he is. Even his base doesn't believe in him.

  • @stebecool Not really. Most people on youtube who actually look for Paul krugman videos to listen to are just Ron Paul voters who have "discovered" the "novel" Austrian business cycle theory. People who agree with Krugman spend more time in econ classes than on youtube. Ron Paul supporters typically shy away from econ classes because, frankly, the facts taught in econ 1. do not comport with the Austrian vision for America. Free, competitive markets are great, we've known...

  • ...this since the days of David Ricardo and Adam Smith. The problem is that there are a few key government functions which are needed for these markets to flourish. First, government need to ensure that no side has monopoly or monopsony power, the former by forbidding collusion, regulating natural monopolies, and the latter by building infrastructure. Not doing this creates massive mis-allocations of resources and drags economic growth.

  • @migkillertwo Yes, the closer to perfect competition you can get, the better. But, the monopoly fallacy is deeply flawed... Monopolies cannot sustain themselves long term without the market taking over. Instead, monopolies NEED government policies to be sustainable. And don't be so quick to say Ron Pauls supporters don't take economic classes... I have taken several... but it is a lot easier to learn from a book then pay thousands of dollars to listen to what ur "suppost" to hear.

  • "monopolies cannot sustain themselves long term..."

    Natural monopolies can, and businesses can maintain monopolies if there are massive economies of scale in the industry.

  • Fool! FDR made the depression worse.
