In the early-1990's, he argued that the growth of economies in East Asia were not the result of new and original economic models, but rather increased capital and labor inputs, which did not result in an increase in total factors productivity . His prediction was that future economic growth in East Asia would slow as it became more difficult to generate economic growth from increasing inputs.
In his own words, he became adept at "new kind of writing ... essays for non-economists that were clear, effective, and entertaining." Krugman had been mentioned as a possible contender for a top economic policy post if John Kerry won the presidency in November, 2004.
Krugman worked on an advisory board for Enron throughout most of 1999 before resigning to take a job as a columnist. This became a source of controversy when the story of the Enron scandal broke, with critics accusing him of having a conflict of interest and the job of having been a bribe to control media coverage, charges he vehemently denies. He also notes that he disclosed the past Enron relationship when he later wrote about the company [1].
Since January 2000, he has contributed a twice-weekly column to the Opinion/Editorial page of the New York Times, which has made him, in the words of the Washington Monthly, "the most important political columnist in America... he is almost alone in analyzing the most important story in politics in recent years — the seamless melding of corporate, class, and political party interests at which the Bush administration excels."
In September, 2003, Krugman published a collection of his columns under the title, The Great Unraveling. It was a scathing attack on the Bush's administration's economic and foreign policies. His main argument was that the large deficits by that Bush administration in response to both decreasing taxes, maintaining public spending, and fighting a war in Iraq were in the long run, unsustainable, and would eventually generate a major economic crisis. The book was an immediate bestseller. Krugman combines a strong respect for the free market with a populist streak.
Krugman's high profile has turned him into a target of heavy criticism, and sometimes even personal attacks, by his detractors, as well as praise from a growing body of fans. Donald Luskin in particular has been a noted harsh critic of Krugman.
In the 1990s Paul Krugman's focus was on what can be described as policy economics, which he attempted to explain to the general audience in such works as "Peddling Prosperity" and columns attacking what he described as "policy entrepreneurs" who were focused single mindedly on particular solutions which they proposed as solving every conceivable crisis.
Krugman was the main architect of the zero interest rate policy.
Krugman's economic philosophy can best be described as neo-Keynesian.
