Nobel economist Paul Krugman wrote in the 6 September 2009 New York Times Magazine, How Did Economists Get it So Wrong?<\/a>. It is a discussion of the re-emergence of Keynesian macroeconomics.<\/p>\n

On 4 August 2009, SteveG kindly posted Krugman Lectures on the Depression<\/a> containing URLs to three audio lectures (mp3) plus slides, which I emailed to him, given by Krugman at the London School of Economics (LSE) this summer. I am reposting those links here for your convenience.<\/p>\n

Part I--The Sum of All Fears\r\nAudio: http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/kj43gf<\/a>\r\nSlides (pdf): http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/n6gevo<\/a>\r\n\r\nPart II--The Eschatology of Lost Decades\r\nAudio:  http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/mjvq65<\/a>\r\nSlides (pdf):  http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/lcavs7<\/a>\r\n\r\nPart III--The Night They Reread Minsky\r\nAudio:  http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/m4hww2<\/a>\r\nSlides (pdf):  http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/m92wpj<\/a><\/pre>\n
The New York Times Magazine article covers some of the material in the LSE lectures; therefore for those of you who don’t have the time, the technology, or the inclination to listen to the 3+ hours of lecture,\u00a0 you might wish to read the article and decide afterward whether you want the more thorough analysis.<\/p>\n
In the interest of full disclosure, SteveG is not as impressed as I am with Krugman nor with Paul Samuelson<\/a>; please see SteveG’s full post on the Krugman lectures<\/a> plus SteveG’s additional post, How Milton Friedman Fooled the Economists<\/a>, for his opinion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
