Contra Krugman, episode 164.

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 Krookman.

Hey there, Contra Kruigman listeners. You know what would make Contra Krugeman even better?

What if we got rid of Tom, right? That's what you're really hoping for. Guess what? I've got a

surprise announcement for you, the Bob Murphy Show. It's my new podcast. I'm just kidding

about it. I love Tom. Tom and I are still in good terms. We're still doing Contra Krugman,

but I'm also now doing my own podcast and my very first guest is Tom Woods. Check it out at

bobmerfyshow.com. I think you're going to like it. Hey, everybody, Tom and Bob here with another episode of Contra Krugman, a short episode for

you this week.

We're going to be talking about the elections, and of course, I think the less said about

elections, the better, but got to say something about them from time to time, especially

when that's what Krugman wants to talk about.

And in particular, his November 8th, 2018 column was called Real America

versus Senate America. And of course, his point is that it's outrageous, that representation

in the Senate is so skewed toward people in rural areas. These people are white and not

diverse and not as well educated. and isn't this an outrage?

And he's saying, whereas the House is more representative.

So, you know, we thought we would use this as a springboard to talk about the elections themselves.

I mean, I will say, Bob, I mean, that really is, that's the summary you're getting this week.
