After nearly 25 years as a New York Times Opinion columnist, Paul Krugman announced Friday that he plans to retire from the gig at the end of the year.
The American economist and Nobel laureate has been a fixture at the paper since his first column on Jan. 2, 2000, where he predicted the beginning of the “Second Global Economy” steered by American ideals and the promise of globalization.
Krugman won a Nobel prize in 2008 for his analysis of economies of scale and their impacts on world trade.

Times’ Opinion editor Kathleen Kingsbury hailed Krugman’s “authoritative voice” and “lively writing” in a parting memo, praising his ability to clearly lead readers through what can often be a dense thicket of economic ideas.
Kingsbury also applauded Krugman for speaking “hard truths ― sometimes as a lonely voice arguing unfashionable opinions.”

Paul Krugman has been vocal in his disdain for Trump. I hope he has a nice villa in the south of France. I'm probably on some list somewhere, since I've written many a letter to the editor about Trump.

That's too bad. He's intelligent and passionate. Of course that worthless pious fuck Ross Douthat is going to keep shitting out columns for the next 30 years.

He was great when he wrote about economics. On politics, he was a shrill partisan.

He was wrong so many times I stopped reading his column.

Even when I disagreed with him, he was right far more than he was wrong.

He was often right but he had to write column every week and spilled a lot of nonsense. He is a good writer, I grant him that, and I always admired the energy he could muster.

Time to go. The old grey lady is a bitch anyway

You clearly didn't read his columns closely, r6. Those two things are ALWAYS connected.

You'll have to explain that comment to me, R11.

That’s a good facelift.
