Krugman Schooled in Debate
Paul Krugman debated Spanish economist Pedro Schwartz, who presented a forceful rejection of Krugman’s demand-side beliefs.

And they have this mantle of authority whereby whatever they say . . . is accepted with resignation from some and enthusiasm by others.” (H/T National Review)
