Contra Krugman, episode 119.

Welcome to the podcast that takes apart Paul Kruikman's New York Times column.

Join us as Tom Woods and Bob Murphy teach economics by uncovering and dissecting the arrows of Krugman.

Nobel Prize winner, newspaper columnist, and destroyer of nations.

It's time for Contra Krugman.

Hello, everybody. Bob Murphy here for another scintillating episode of Contra Krugman.

Now, for this episode, it was planned that I'm going to be handling this solo.

You see, Tom Woods is one of the laziest men in the Liberty movement. In fact, he has a

whole episode of the Tom Wood Show devoted to the explanation of why he is going to consciously

work less. If you think I'm bluffing, look it up. I'm not going to provide a show notes

link to this one because we don't want to embarrass Tom.

Not bluffing though. It's a true statement. So anyway, Tom says to me, he says, Bob,

you taking off for the holidays? What days are you taking off? I said December 25th and that's it.

All right. I am committed to the liberty, the advancement of economic knowledge, and hence, I don't skip episodes of contra Krugman.

Also, what's fun about these ones is I can do whatever I want.

Tom's not around.

He can't stop me.

He can't complain after the fact to say, hey, if you wanted to be stodgy and do it the same old, same old, you should have showed up to work that day, Tom.

You know what I'm saying? I could just do impressions the same old, same old, you should have showed up to work that day, Tom. You know what I'm saying?

I could just do impressions the whole episode.

What would they do?

How would they stop me?
