Contra Krugman, episode 216.

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 Krukman.

Nobel Prize winner, newspaper columnist, and destroyer of nations.

It's time for Contra Krukman.

Hey folks, now you've known for a while that I have my own podcast, but in case, hey, you're busy

and Contra Krugeman's always had a special place in your heart. You've never been able to

displace it. You need to make time to listen to my latest episode where I explain why I am still an

Austrian economist even after all the cool stuff I learned in grad school. Go to Bob Murphy's

show.com slash 96 to hear all the fun stories and technical walkery. It's amazing. You'll love it.

Hey everybody, Tom and Bob here with another episode of Contra Krugman. We're talking about

Greta Thunberg and climate change here a bit, but really we're talking more about Krugman's

take on these things. And of course, we've hit on climate change before, but there's enough,

well, fresh material, material that we haven't really

delved into in the past that made us think this might be worthwhile. So the column is Greta versus the

greedy grifters dated January 27th, 2020, and of course, as always, we link to the column on the show notes

page, contracruigman.com slash 216.

Now, it helps that old Bob here, old Murphy on the other side of this thing here, happens to be very much engaged in the debate about the proper response to climate change and whether some of the claims being made in terms of

damage and therefore we need to have a carbon tax make sense and whether they're internally

consistent, whether they thereby justify these sorts of things. So Bob, once again, comes to

the rescue here with all the knowledge we need to smash this.

That's a little bit of pressure I've built up for you, Bob.
