Paul Krugman on the Liberal Oasis

No, not the offices of the New York Times. Prof. K. gave an interview to some online forum called “Liberal Oasis” to plug his new book, and he wasn’t afraid to admit when he was wrong:

LO: As you were putting the book together, going back over your old columns, is there anything you were surprised about? Anything you were particularly right or particularly wrong about?

PK: I underestimated. I just consistently underestimated just how bad things were going to be.

No doubt this will lead to a torrent of commentary from Matthew Hoy, Donald Luskin, and Robert Musil. Gentlemen, start your screeds!

(Hat tip to Real Clear Politics for finding this).
