Believe it or not, Krugman's Nobel was for quality work in trade theory. But he sold out for Progressive love, which is why he so often contradicts himself between much of his older academic work and what he publishes today.
And they don't shoot up or burn down their own neighbors, neighborhoods and cities. No matter who wins, they just go back to work.
I generally hesitate to give out investment advice, but what I will say without reservation is that you will never go broke betting against whatever Paul Krugman says in the pages of the New York Times.
I WONDER WHERE Mr. KRUGMAN GETS THE FOOD THAT HE EATS? DO THE FAIRIES WAVE A MAGIC WAND AND IT MAGICALLY APPEARS IN HIS FRIDGE? NO, IT COMES FROM A SAFEWAY STORE AND SAFEWAY BUYS IT FROM THE FARMERS. DON'T PISS US OFF; HUNGER IS A BITCH...
I live in MN, 40 miles NE of MPLS; it is a bedroom/Ag community and about 65% conservative. Trump country, not necessarily republican if'n you know what I mean. Sixty years ago this area was tourist catching never-ending Walleye and Crappies.
Krugman outted himself 20+ years ago, we don't even care what he thinks because he is a fraud.
Great writing Glenn as per usual however I wish you went after Mr Krugman much more vehemently. Especially on two fronts one is the made-up phrase "white rural rage" and the other more offensive one " they are losers who can't keep up with a changing economy and changing world". These are farmers for God's sake, be grateful for them and the staples they provide for us, though they may not be "up to the minute" on a changing economy or a changing world. If we're honest and objective Mr Krugman seems to be an angry and disgruntled urbanite. He is a fraud and has been wrong most of the time on both his economic insights and his politics, which really reflects badly on his acumen on both and perhaps his character as well.
Does anyone take this man's advice? I doubt he has any followers in Houston. I'm always surprised when his name comes up. He's just an urban angry white man. I'm not sure our farmers read his column so he's just singing to the woke choir.
The moral vanity of Krugman is intolerable. He deserves to be forced to run a gauntlet of irate farmers, ranchers, miners, and lumberjacks outfitted with sticks and switches, and into the nearest river.
Krugman was inspired to become an economist from reading Isaac Asimov's wonderful, sprawling "Foundation Trilogy". Underpinning Asimov's sci fi novel was his concept of "psychohistory" which the reader will see as an amalgam of History, Statistics, Macro-Economics, Sociology, and Social Psychology. As the novel begins, the Galactic Empire is in decline and humanity is faced with millennia of chaotic dark ages. To shorten that interregnum, the brilliant Hari Seldon created the "Foundation" to utilize the principles of psychohistory in order to surreptitiously guide humanity more quickly through the interregnum and on to the re-establishment of enlightened Empire. When you realize that Paul Krugman fancies himself as Hari Seldon, you will understand his reverence for an all-controlling Government and his poorly disguised disdain for ordinary people and their desire to pursue their own ends without Government meddling.
Paul Krugman, Nobel laureate, is the poster child for Alfred Nobel's descendants' efforts to have the Peace Prize and the Prize for Economics removed from the Nobels. The reason? They are "not founded on sound scientific principles." Krugman and his economic theories case in point.
"Green Acres" was one of the weirdest TV shows ever made. Seriously. Watch a few episodes with Arnold Ziffle and tell me David Lynch didn't get his inspiration for "Eraserhead" there.
Hey Krugface, if you knew anything about farming you would know that farmers go 100% from dawn to dusk and often into the night. They don't have time to keep up with silly urban frauds, but they know more about the economy than you do, you phony economist. Your white urban rage at honest, hard working people demonstrates how unconnected from reality you are.
Whenever I read his writings or hear about him commenting on any subject I find it hard to imagine that he ever received a Nobel Prize in Economics.
Like Obama and Gore's Nobels as well!
With Krugman, Gore, and the Kenyan receiving Nobels I no longer have any respect for the Prize.
Don't forget Yasir Arafat.

Krugman’s a pretentious asswipe #ProgressiveNaziPropagandist. Much of the country’s pissed because they want to:
1)Command and Control Everything 24/7/365
2)Suppress our 1st Amendment Rights of Free Speech and Association
3)’By any means possible’, take over and take down the country
4)Require we Identify or Die.
We’ve been pacified to the point where many believe Anger has no place in real life when reality dictates Normal People do otherwise.
This has been a Filmways Presentation daaaahling.
If you want to hear Thomas Sowell break into uproarious laughter (and that is worth hearing) just bring up Paul Krugman's name.
Well said, Glenn.

Krugman gets all his food delivered by DoorDash. He don't need no stinking farmers.
