How to Slay Economic Zombies

What is the right foreign economic policy toward China? Did the Fed cut rates in time to avoid a recession? Have agglomeration economies been changed by work-from-home and the dematerializing economy? On September 21st, Paul Krugman joined host Cardiff Garcia live on stage for a sweeping conversation at the conference in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. They discussed not only Paul’s view of the economy and his achievements in economics, but also his approach to communicating his ideas about economics — which is likely to be as important a part of Paul’s legacy as the (Nobel prize winning) economics itself. Among the other topics they covered: Paul’s hippie-punching days in the 1990s How economic geography has changed through the decades Whether place-based policy works Why a previous regret no longer bothers him much How Paul blends style and substance in his writing Why Democrats seem so bad at running big cities The work Paul is most proud of And at the end of this fun, dense, and surprisingly humorous chat, you’ll hear Paul answer the questions he fielded from the audience of economists, journalists, think tankers and others in attendance.
