Does he ever sleep?

Paul Krugman has won the Nobel Prize for economics this year. I didn't realize that, on top of writing a column twice a week for the NYT, he is a professor at Princeton.

Gotta love this part:
“For readers of the column, maybe they will read a little more carefully when I’m being economistic, or maybe have a little more tolerance when I’m being boring.”

Yes, yes I probably will.

Fun personal fact: my parents bought our house from another Nobel laureate in economics. He got it, like, fifteen years after we got the house, but still. Brush with Nobel glory!

Krugman is a good writer. Occasionally dry, and not as entertaining as Friedman, but his theory is sound. And now I know why, mm?

Those wacky Econ laureates. What's up with them?

Krugman's columns are also often very formulaic, too -- notice the preponderance of one-sentence third paragraphs.

But he has a really interesting blog.
