"Were the models correct? [...] It doesn't really matter," I, for one, would be interested to know if they were. I'd be curious to know what model Krugman is talking about (but probably I'd need to read more than just an article, and I don't feel like making the effort).:) Mary Harrington had an article in "Unheard" about how Trump is the real "decolonizer" because he is dismantling the empire. I think she's right.
Yeah, but "stock market going down and prices going up" when you mess with free trade is probably sufficient for most people to stick to it regardless of principles.

There has never been a real 'free market,' as captive markets always subvert it and result in a heavily manipulated market.
Trump is not hero in this scenario.
