6. Krugman may or may not be the best but he is by far the best Econ with media exposure.

I find him sound and a standard Keynesian - which this capitalist country needs badly now if it's to remain capitalist - but I really admire him for speaking bluntly to the inane insiders of DC. He started out trying to see both sides but quickly found out the other side had no serious "side" and were vituperative to boot.
He learned from experience and has been on the offensive since. So...Bravo.
