Paul Krugman interview

The New York Times, under fire these days for many reasons, alienated themselves to me when they put their best op-ed columnists behind a fire wall and are charging $50/year to read them. No thanks. The people for whom these columnists speak are those who can least afford to pay for the privilege.

They cover many subjects. Mr. Krugman is an extremely intelligent, interesting person and this column is well worth your time.
