Krugman Wins Nobel


Princeton economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman has been awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics.

Krugman, routinely castigated by America's rightwing, is a self-described liberal. He has used his column and books to repeatedly show how his country was on a path to the meltdown that has consumed it today.

In "The Great Unraveling" Krugman assembled a selection of his columns going back to the arrival of George w. Bush in Washington that depicted the madness that has been Republican economic and social policy in the 21st Century.
