WASHINGTON—American economist and New York Times columnist Paul R. Krugman is impatient at the snail’s pace of America’s economic recovery. He thinks we have become far too complacent in accepting a low GDP and high unemployment as the new norm.
Krugman, 59, says that if politics can be set aside, we can dramatically accelerate a full recovery. The Nobel Prize-winning economist spoke May 2 at the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) to discuss his latest book, End This Depression Now!
