(an interview) Will Hutton interviews Paul Krugman
Paul Krugman is interview by Will Hutton for the Guardian.co.UK/ The Observer, Jun 14, 2009.
Paul Krugman's fear for lost decade:
"As analysts and media hailed the tentative emergence of green shoots last week, Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman caused international shock with a prediction that the world economy would stagnate just as badly, and for just as long, as Japan's did in the 1990s. In an exclusive interview, he talks to Will Hutton about his anxiety for the future - and how Gordon Brown might have saved Britain from the blight that hangs over the West"
