He's an advocate of Keynesian economic ideas that have been abandoned even by modern neo-Keynesian economists (who are still wrong, but at least have the decency to try to repackage Keynesian ideas in light of modern economic reality). Had he been born 50 years earlier he could have been one of FDR's socialist Utopian "brain trust" lackeys, and he would have been considered a pretty hip, forward thinking dude. Unfortunately for him, he came on the scene a generation later when his beloved economic ideas had since led to stagflation and astronomical government debt, and weren't considered quite so fresh anymore.

He is in my opinion, a socialist, plain and simple. After seeing every attempt at socialism fail miserably, who cares what Paul Krugman says? He is wrong in his approach. The man is a failure in his profession. I don’t know where to start in commenting on the article on Paul. He is in my opinion, a socialist, plain and simple.
