FW: Krugman

["Devine, James" <jdevine@xxxxxxx>]

I received the following from an anonymous friend who works at the NY TIMES
as a columnist.

I sometimes have to use short phrases to convey longer concepts. 730 words
is
all I have.

There's definitely a segment that really hates globalization broadly defined
-
increased trade, increased cultural interchange, movement of people and
capital.
They even have a point, by the way: homogenization has its downside.

In any case, the only serious hate mail - with threats and insults - that I
get
from the left comes from that segment. The fact that my Times email gets
screened and my Times smail mail gets steamed (honest) is a response to the
hate
mail from the right, of course.
