Summary
Krugman blames the destructiveness of the hurricane partly on climate change and partly on Houston's lack of zoning. We take these on, and also defend the "price gouger," who genuinely saves lives.

| 0:05.5 | Welcome to the podcast that takes apart Paul Kruikman's New York Times column. |
| 0:10.2 | Join us as Tom Woods and Bob Murphy teach economics by uncovering and dissecting the |
| 0:14.9 | arrows of Krugman. |
| 0:16.1 | Nobel Prize winner, newspaper columnist, and destroyer of nations. |
| 0:20.1 | It's time for Contra Krukman. |
| 0:24.2 | Folks, we're capitalists on this show, and we're not ashamed of that. And one of the easiest |
| 0:28.5 | places to be a capitalist is on the internet. So, for example, if you've got a website and you're |
| 0:34.0 | not monetizing it, then you're a schmuck. I'm going to show you what I'm doing |
