What are you arguing for or against here? Krugman wasn't exactly optimistic by the end of 2006. He was pretty much in full panic by 2007. What are you trying to demonstrate, other than that you don't like Paul Krugman?

Krugman is saying that most of the macroeconomic work in the last 30 years failed to produce models that predicted this crisis, or offer much help in getting out of it. You apparently agree.

Some economists predicted the coming crash. The vast majority did not. Krugman agrees.

Stopping this kind of thing from happening again would be a fantastic idea. Krugman says the same, that finance needs to be a boring profession again.

So, in short, what's your point?
