Paul Krugman Gets a Blog

Look, I realize anyone can blog. Without that guiding principle TtP would have gone out of business a long time ago. Actually, that's misleading. "Business" suggests that someone is making money off of this thing we have going here. I'm certainly not. I've lost money...Did anyone else know that a printing press isn't necessary equipment for blogging? I sure didn't. Now I have the plastic apron and big gloves...Kerosene lamp probably didn't make sense either...Humm...Mistakes, mistakes, mistakes. At least this one didn't involve a homeless tranny. Silver lining folks.

Point of this post -- Paul Krugman has emerged from behind the now removed TimesSelect wall...And he has..A BLOG! You gotta appreciate anyone who uses the introductory paragraph of their new blog to excerpt their book. And then gives the blog the same title as his book. Krugman on Krugman:

“I was born in 1953. Like the rest of my generation, I took the America I grew up in for granted – in fact, like many in my generation I railed against the very real injustices of our society, marched against the bombing of Cambodia, went door to door for liberal candidates. It’s only in retrospect that the political and economic environment of my youth stands revealed as a paradise lost, an exceptional episode in our nation’s history.”

Brilliant. I'm looking forward to this.
