Thanks, for posting that. I've never really like Krugman all that much, but he successfully put to paper, what my intuition has always told me about China's rapid growth. Even more remarkable considering he wasn't really talking about China, and it was written 2 decades ago.

Paul Krugman, in the 90s, was brilliant. Unfortunately, I think realized that greater fame, influence, and wealth comes from partisan hackery. He still has important thoughts to share, but his signal/noise ratio has degraded.

Is there even a single piece of his you can cite in support of this? Seems mindless to attack the man as a partisan hack considering he is one of the more critical voices attacking the Obama administration for its lack of fiscal policy and ongoing banking bailouts.
