So now Krugman says inflation targeting is the first-best solution to our economic problems. This is consistent with everything he wrote about Japan over a decade ago, and also consistent with a wide majority of non-crazy macro economists across the political spectrum.
So why on earth has he not said this a lot more starting a long time ago? ... Krugman blames stupid economics. He just sees misguided conventional wisdom against inflation as too much to overcome.
Huh? Krugman--the man who boldly, clearly, and effectively challenges establishment views on EVERYTHING--gets weak knees when it comes to inflation targeting?
I see and get that inflation is a four-letter word among some crazy economists and much of the media. But that's exactly why Krugman should be writing about it. Bernanke must have sympathy for this this view. After all, it is what he spent much of his academic career advocating. Conservative economists Ken Rogoff and perhaps Greg Mankiw would even back him, and many others on both sides of the political fence.
I'm annoyed because I think Krugman is in a unique position to raise the level of debate. If he wrote about inflation targeting a lot, others would have to agree with him or not. And those who didn't eventually would have had to back up their positions. If Krugman started boldly with this line of attack a year ago I think there's a chance we'd be in a better place right now.

Krugman should have been advocating monetary stimulus all along. The real problem is that his allies in government; Obama, Pelosi, Reid, etc., donât even know the first best option exists. And how could they? How often is monetary stimulus mentioned in columns written by liberal pundits? If they realized that they were about to get decimated in the 2010 midterm elections because a few nutty right-wingers at the Fed think the economy needs less stimulus, not more, there would be outrage in Congress and the Administration. Theyâd be marching down to the Fed (metaphorically of course, to avoid looking heavy-handed) and make it very clear that the Fed needs to produce robust growth in aggregate demand or else there will be big changes in the way the Fed is set up and regulated. If they donât seem âreceptive,â then quietly tell the FOMC; âThink the Dodd bill is bad? You canât even imagine how much worse we can make it.â

How can we get the people in power to understand what is going on? There is one person who understands what monetary policy can do, who understands Woodfordâs views, who understands Svenssonâs views, and who also has a news column read by every single influential person in government. Do I even need to tell you who I am talking about?ï¼æè¨³ï¼
