I’ll believe Krugman is a great economist when he drops his contemptuous and insulting attitude toward his peers and when Niall Ferguson, Tyler Cowen and others subjected to his bile say he he routinely establishes important truths.
Until then, he remains merely another partisan rogue in the unending political war of words of our time.
Best to all,

I couldnt agree more. Thank goodness for his one-sided views. We get enough of the other side. I always post Krugman’s articles for my students to let them see that there are some courageous economists in the US
Doug, Paul Krugman and Tyler Cowen often disagree, but I have never seen either of them hurl insulting remarks at the other. See, for example, this youtube video:

As for conservative Harvard historian Niall Ferguson, Krugman behaves as a scholar and gentleman, ignoring Ferguson’s rants. Well, for the most part. See these articles from Huffington Post:
