Paul Krugman's Sharp Attack on Scott Bessent
Original: The Beclowning of Scott Bessent
Economist Paul Krugman has published a piece mocking Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, arguing his defense of the administration's economic policies has become embarrassing. The column criticizes Bessent for promoting claims on tariffs and fiscal policy that Krugman says collapse under basic scrutiny, fueling debate among economists and policy watchers about the credibility of the administration's economic messaging.
Why now: Krugman is a prominent critic of the administration, and his pointed attack on the Treasury Secretary has struck a chord with readers debating US economic policy.
