Business Week Pits Krugman Against The World

Business Week pits Paul Krugman against all of the conservative economists whose ideas he has criticized. Krugman has argued that he is not alone in his criticism of the models used by conservatives to support their case against the use of stimulus. He also contends that his arguments are attacks against their models and are not ad hominen attacks. I think that Krugman has been signaled out because he has an influential platform on the NYT. He has plenty of support from other economists. I don't know why Business Week believes that this battle is new. It has been going on for years.
