Nobel Prize for Paul Krugman
Professor Paul Krugman won the Nobel Prize for Economics for 2008. I have been a huge fan of his writing at the New York Times which I have been following religiously for the last few months since the world financial markets went into a turmoil. I remember Professor Krugman arguing quite sometime back, in fact in 2005, that there is a huge housing bubble in the US market. I remember I had read it in 2005 itself and I was quite skeptical. But I remembered this piece when prices actually started tumbling down.
I was wondering a few days back that what happens if you have kind of acumen (knowlwdge, skills) to understand the economy with which Professor Krugman writes. Now I know the answer, why you may end up getting a Nobel Prize!
On his blog he has written just one line about the Economics 2008 Nobel Prize and of course they had to close comments after a while!

Very interesting articles by Paul Krugman. Thanks for the info
While driving to work yesterday enjoyed his commentary on US economy on local NPR (National Public Radio) station. Search for Paul Krugman on www.npr.org for his essays and articles etc. Don't understand why we cannot have such radio stations in India.
Ajeya, thanks for dropping by. It must be quite busy for you?
Atul, good to have you back here. I will certainly try npr.org. Thanks for sharing.
