in New York’s “Reasons to <3 N.Y. 2011” via wwnorton:
“The most remarkable attribute Paul Krugman has brought to the New York Times is rudeness. The social niceties that accompany his exalted position are utterly lost on him. He does not seek out the company of famous politicians and cannot be courted with flattery or access. He understands that you can’t arrive at truth without explaining why mistaken beliefs are wrong.”
1000x yes.
