Krugman Wins Nobel
Princeton Professor and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics today. I can't say I'm always the biggest fan of his column - though he's almost always right, I'm not really an econ guy - but as a very high-profile liberal economist, this might be the Nobel committee making a political statement.
He also just happens to be a damn good economist though.

I'm not sure about the whole
I'm not sure about the whole political statement argument, but I'm glad he won it. If it was a statement, it wasn't as obvious as Al Gore's was. After all, economics is still an academic field, and Krugman (although we forget that he's more than his columns) did have a substantial research impact. It's good to know though that economics isn't just a field for old fiscal conservatives like Mankiw.
Not at all a political
Not at all a political statement. Krugman, in addition to his politics and his layman commentary, is a pioneer behind a whole bunch of abstruse economic shit which us mortals will never understand.

My roommates told me the news last night after I got home from PA and I screamed. It was the perfect end to my weekend. Krugman is one of my idols.
