Why Paul Krugman Is Wrong About The 1990s

I’ve been pondering Paul Krugman’s recent column in the New York Times about how great the 1990s were economically. Hillary Clinton has, of course, been saying the same thing on the campaign trail. In fact, she wants to put her husband Bill back in charge of the economy if she’s elected—a mistake, in my opinion, both on economic grounds and because it smacks of nepotism. The key question is this: What is the true economic narrative about the 1990s?
