Paul Krugman, American neo-Keynesian economist (and NYTimes columnist), has been awarded the Nobel Prize for economics for his contribution to international trade theory. Via AP:
Krugman (pronounced KROOG-man) is best known for his unabashedly liberal column in the Times, which he has written since 1999. In it, he has said Republicans are becoming "the party of the stupid" and that the economic meltdown made GOP presidential nominee John McCain "more frightening now than he was a few weeks ago."
But at a news conference, Krugman said he doesn't think he won the prize because of his political views.
"Nobel prizes are given to intellectuals," he said. "A lot of intellectuals are anti-Bush."
