Contra Krugman, episode 171.

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 Krookman.

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

It's time for Contra Krugman.

Folks, I know from experience that creating online courses is a nice way to start a side business.

Pick them up at Tom Woods.com slash make courses.
