- Why Investment Banks Stay Away From Fixed AssetsPretty much every planner or financial professional will tell you that the key to reaching your financial goals is to maximize the market upside and try to bypass the market downturns.

- How Do You Get A Good Pension?It always seems a pain when you are young and just starting work to consider a pension scheme for a time which seems a long way off. It is also a time when the personal budget is squeezed by the demands of a house purchase and the payments demanded from student loans. The harsh fact is that years ago most companies ran private pension schemes as a condition […]

@ionlytrade No, Krugman and other mainstream economists recognize the value of a healthy rate of inflation for encouraging capital investments during a recession.
Krugman is a socialist. Libertarianmonarchy . com
@Krugmanistheking – Please show me one example of Krugman being anything other than disrespectful to someone who disagrees with him. Just one.
You have a right to an opinion, and that's all Krugman has. He is at the bottom of a long line of disproven failures. Or maybe that's you.
@Krugmanistheking – And really, he never said that FDR saved the world? Really? How much you want to put on line for that one?
/user/PaulKrugmanBlog#p/u/18/qlv1LtwO7Tg
Here he says just that.
@Krugmanistheking – And really, Krugman is quite the fan of FDR. On his blog, he calls FDR – "The greatest hero of all time."
That seems like high praise to me.
@Krugmanistheking – How arrogant are you? You think I haven't listened to him. I have, and I still disagree. Sorry.
He claims the New Deal created the middle class. It didn't.
The New Deal extended the Depression, and caused a great deal of needless suffering. A bigger New Deal would have created much more suffering. I'm not assuming that government intervention is bad, I'm finding that as a trend throughout history supported by evidence.
@Krugmanistheking – Even if you like him, to deny his arrogance is blind sycophancy.
To say he's fallacious is the truth. He tells World War II ended the depression, and that FDR saved the World. Neither of those is true. He thinks the New Deal created the middle class, another fallacy. But these are not harmless lies, they benefit powerful government.
I will show him all the respect he gives to those who disagree with him: none. I will show him the respect that all con artists deserve: none.
@Krugmanistheking – His video blog includes, "Why I Am a Great Professor". You can't make that up.
His criticism of the current establishment is that government is not spending ENOUGH. We are spending more than we have at any point in history, and it's not working, but if we were only wasting more money… then. His data is fallacy, and out of touch with reality. It serves the interests of the state over the individual, and has been proven false repeatedly.
He's incredibly arrogant.
Paul Krugman calling anyone arrogant is like a clown telling someone they are wearing too much makeup.
@splicedenergy
Think I'd rather have fun in here (which was over a year ago) pointing out the uber-partisan, deceitful Krugman than have a debate over Keynesian, fallacious aggregative economics for the 9688686th time in a YT comment section. Toodles.
@selfrealizedexile For telling you a fact that you thought the opposite was a fact. You are out of touch. I'm not a troll you are just a mindless drone
@splicedenergy
trolololololo
@selfrealizedexile Bush did the bailouts wtf are you talking about dumbass, it was not obama what a dumb fucking ass
Why is it that Paul Krugman is still alive?
@chaoboyace LOL i don't get it?
Please note that my book Keynes Hayek: The Clash That Shaped Modern Economics is published by W.W.Norton in October.
Professor John B.Taylor says that: "Nicholas Wapshott brings the Keynes-Hayek fight of the 20th century back to life, making the clash both entertaining and highly relevant for understanding economic crises of the 21st century."

@chaoboyace Wrong. People over 40 built the Internet and were using it long before you.
Krugmo could truly be the single dumbest man on the planet. Let's see, we are massively in debt from spending money we don't have; and the Krugmo plan back to wealth is….. spending much much more money we don't have. Wow, what a friggin Einstein.
@chaoboyace It turns out Paul Krugman is wicked stupid (or arrogant).
The Communist soul is the soul of Judaism.Hence it follows that,just as in the Russian revolution the triumph of Communism was the triumph of Judaism,so also in the triumph of fascism will triumph Judaism.

We have exterminated the property owners in Russia.We are going to do the same thing in Europe and America

Have you every really wondered WHY there have been so many REVOLUTIONS around the world throughout history, ie. why men would risk their freedom and even their lives for political change??? BECAUSE SOMETIMES MEN HAVE TO FACE POLITICAL, SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC REALITY, U only live once. If your gov is totally corrupt as ours is now, n elections t rigged, our candidates r NOT candidates that the PEOPLE chose, n politicians r bought n paid for by huge corporations, there is no choice but revolution!
