Krugman: There’s a political "apparatchik test" for professional economists who want to work with Republicans



Finally, Mr. Krugman cottons to what's growing in the Republican professional fields; it's not integrity, it's not honest disagreement about ideas, and it's not "learned helplessness."

It's obeisance to power and political reality. If you're an economist who wants to work on the Republican side, to get your career in gear you get your mouth in line.
