Capitalist economics is bases on science and rationale bases. The rest of the economic constructs, not so much.

Europeans have been doing Democracy a little longer than the U.S.

The armistice took effect in January 1973, and the same [A]utumn Henry Kissinger was awarded the Peace Prize together with his counterpart Le Duc Tho. The latter refused to accept the Prize, and for the first time in the history of the Peace Prize two members left the Nobel Committee in protest.

Originally Answered: What is the most successful socialist country in all of history?

No socialist country, i.e. a country where the state controls all the means of “production, distribution and exchange”, can be “successful” in terms of the standard of life of its people, because socialism does not work (see Ludwig Von Mises “Socialism” and “Human Action” and Henry Hazlitt “Economics In One Lesson”). A country is successful in proportion to how far it moves AWAY from socialism - for example the “People’s Republic of China” claims to be a “socialist” country, but the vast majority of production China is actually private (“capitalist”) and China actually has less government benefits and “public services” than Western countries such as the United States.
Under Mao (when China actually was socialist - rather than a “capitalist” country pretending to be socialist) tens of millions of people starved to death - see the historical works of Frank Dikotter on this (as well as “Mao: The Untold Story” by Jung Chang).

I'd debate you on this, as you have forgotten recent history(like WWII). If you are stating fact about the first use of democracy, I am quite sure there were tribes of people that attempted to be fundamentally democratic long long ago. If you are talking about continuous democracies, Iceland doesn't really count as a European country.

That being said, Europeans being democratic have nothing to do with Paul Krugman, and your post is ill formed, stupid, and off topic.

And typical.

That's not fair to play the history card kehar. Didn't you just have to study to pass your citizenship test?

trolls, moles and shitposters. what has ECC become?

BAHHAHHAAHAHAHAAAAAAA

thank you valued troll!

[nevergaveitathought]

throughout the years, the common refrain, from both left and right, departing in tone alone, when in retrospective mood concerning some past wonderment now in the rear view mirror, is and has been,

"why was paul krugman so wrong?"

This is the new direction the left has pivoted in...since Russia!! Russia!! fell flat...


Secretly recorded staff address from New York Crimes executive editor:

The mainstream media sure know a good idea when they hear one. And they heard an extraordinary one via a secretly recorded staff address from The New York Times’ executive editor Dean Baquet. He told his team that, although their two-year long focus on President Trump’s collusion with the Russians had been an incredible success, it was time for writers, as a group, to shift their attention.

Baquet explained to the newsroom staff:We built our newsroom to cover one story, and we did it truly well. Now we have to regroup and shift resources and emphasis to take on a different story.
That different story is race — and Trump. We’ve got to change. I mean, the vision for coverage for the next two years is what I talked about earlier: How do we cover a guy who makes these kinds of remarks? How do we cover the world’s reaction to him? How do we do that while continuing to cover his policies? How do we cover America, that’s become so divided by Donald Trump?

"If you condone it you own it."

As usual you attack the person while putting the tiniest of scratches in the content.
Freshly back from a banning, you can't wait to make up for lost time.

Spew forth my frothy friend. Trumpys are starving for your fresh fake content.

You as a leftwinger have criticized EVERY thing he has done...see how that works.

He has VERY solid ground to base it upon...don't let these FACT get in the way of you bullshit narrative MUNCHY!!
Here's some "fake" content for you.
You say something about a "lying cocksucker"??

The article is over the top.

For MUNCHY the more absurd the better...it is Trump you know the "TRUTH" be dammed!!
What was it that Uncle Joe said about choosing truth over facts??

[eccielover]

Given the alternatives offered up by the left,

I'll take any day.

Krugman had his day as a serious economist. He's nothing but a political hack today.
