Re: Krugman attacks the EPI!

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. <

Come now - I bet EPI would support China and Japan liberalizing their
trade laws!
