Summary
Says Krugman this week: poor Mitt Romney. Now he wants to take credit for paving the way for Obamacare, but the rubes in the GOP will rip his head off. But Mitt is right, says Krugman, and in any event the Affordable Care Act has been a great success! None of the terrible things opponents predicted would happen have come to pass.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the podcast that takes apart Paul Kruikman's New York Times column. |
| 0:07.6 | Join us as Tom Woods and Bob Murphy teach economics by uncovering and dissecting the arrows of Krukman. |
| 0:13.5 | Nobel Prize winner, newspaper columnist, and destroyer of nations. |
| 0:17.5 | It's time for Contra Krukman. |
| 0:26.1 | A lot of our listeners would love to master Austrian economics and learn real history, |
| 0:31.6 | but they don't have the time. And even if they did, how would they know where to start? Well, check out Liberty Classroom.com to learn the history and economics we didn't get in school. Did you know Bob Murphy has his own |
| 0:39.6 | financial publication? I bet you didn't. It's the Lara Murphy Report, co-authored with colleague |
| 0:46.1 | Carlos Lara. Check it out at contra Krugman.com slash LMR. Welcome to another episode of |
| 0:54.0 | Contra Krugman. I'm Tom Woods with Bob Murphy, and I'm telling you, |
| 0:57.3 | Paul Krugman is making our lives too easy. It's almost like we are an economy that needs a stimulus or |
| 1:03.9 | something. I don't understand why he's making it so easy on us, but for instance, a couple of weeks ago, |
| 1:08.4 | he covers energy policy, and that's one of Bob Murphy's specialties. |
| 1:12.5 | Well, now he writes a book, I beg your pardon, a column on health care, just a matter of days after Bob's new co-authored book on health care. |

| 1:32.3 | Bob, congratulations on your new book. |
| 1:35.1 | Take just a minute to tell people about it, and then we're going to dive into Krugman's column. |
| 1:40.2 | Well, sure thing. |
| 1:40.8 | Thanks, Tom, And you're right. It's really, I mean, first Krugman gives us the energy policy, then the gift of Denmark on a platter. I mean, if we're not all about Denmark, I don't know what else. I don't know what we are. Right. And then now the three for three with the going on health care, right when the new book gets launched. So you're right. The book is called The Primal Prescription. And it's on the with Doug McGuff, who's an ER doctor. |
| 2:04.2 | And what this book is, it's several things all wrapped in one package. |
| 2:08.5 | The title of the primal prescription derives from the fact that the project was actually |
