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.

Hello, everybody.

I'm Tom Woods with Bob Murphy here for episode 36 of Contra Krugman.

For the first time ever, recorded before a live audience here in Seattle.

Thank you. here in Seattle.

I don't know about you, Bob, but I like Seattle.

Yeah, Seattle's great.

I love it.

We should get one of those things to say, applause, applause.

Today's show notes page will be contra-crugeman.com slash 36, where we will be linking as we always do to the Krugman column that we're talking about and then to the various refutations that we've found.

Obama's War on Inequality. So this one, as Bob says, is just dripping with inanities. So it's

perfect, just perfect for what we were looking for. Now, we did, I will say, we did consider

for a time having everybody get a copy of the column

so that you could follow along with us. So we thought of putting copies on all the seats and

whatever. But then we thought, I'm stealing your joke, Bob. Then we thought, if this is your first

Meese's event and you show up and there's a Krugman column in the seat, you might get confused.
