Krugman před časem zveřejnil novinový článek nazvaný „Čím to že ekonomové byli tak vedle?“ V ekonomice hlavního proudu, napsal Krugman, nebylo nic, co by „naznačovalo možnost takového kolapsu, k jakému loni došlo“.
Krugman recently published a newspaper article entitled “How Did Economists Get It So Wrong?” There was nothing in mainstream economics, Krugman wrote, “suggesting the possibility of the kind of collapse that happened last year.”
