Contra Krugman, episode 196.

Welcome to the podcast that takes apart Paul Krugman's New York Times column.

Join us as Tom Woods and Bob Murphy teach economics by uncovering and dissecting the arrows of Krugman.

Nobel Prize winner, newspaper columnist, and Destroyer of Nations.

It's time for Contra Krukman.

Folks, as you know, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been spreading some pretty terrible ideas,

All right, here we go.

Of course, we'll link to it at contra krugman.com slash 196, and I'm about to launch into my primary role on the podcast, which is to summarize this column dispassionately and without commentary.
