Krugman attacks the EPI!

[Jim Devine <jdevine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

P. Krugman from yesterday's NY TIMES: >Real experts [such as Krugman
himself], you see, tend to have views that are not entirely one-sided. For
example, Columbia's Jagdish Bhagwati, a staunch free-trader, is also very
critical of unrestricted flows of short-term capital. Right or not, this
mixed stance reflects an honest mind at work. You might think that hacks
would at least try to simulate an open mind -- that simply for the sake of
appearances the Heritage Foundation would try to find some tax it supports,
or the Economic Policy Institute find some trade liberalization it favors.
But it almost never happens. <
