Paul Krugman vs Mr Bean

Welcome to the newer readers from Paul Krugman's blog. It is the third time (I think) he has linked me and as per usual he brings a lot of traffic.

My post on margin calls is my second most visited post in the past year.

The most visited post however is Mr Bean declaring the European Debt Crisis over.

Krugman is super-smart, has a platform at the New York Times and at Princeton and has a Nobel prize.

But Rowan Atkinson pulls a bigger crowd and doesn't have to say anything.

  1. The local nick name for Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero is "Bambi".

    He is a bit of a favourite at our house and was a decided improvement on his Opus Dei predecessor.

  2. I'll believe that economists are wedded to the truth when they stop referring to their pretendy wee prize as a "nobel" prize. The physics envy is just too much for them.

  4. Hey John:

    You should also mention that you are on the FT's blog roll.

    An honor, if there ever is one.
