Carta de Reinhart para Paul Krugman

Krugman é o exemplo do economista de escol mau caráter. Bota um spin em todos os assuntos e trata quem discorda dele como adversários, achando sempre motivos escusos em seus argumentos. Carmen Reinhart escreve uma carta para ele sobre suas acusações recentes [todas falsas, naturalmente]. Mas com pessoas como Krugman educação, elegância, honestidade não funcionam: We admire your past scholarly work, which influences us to this day. So it has been with deep disappointment that we have experienced your spectacularly uncivil behavior the past few weeks. You have attacked us in very personal terms, virtually non-stop, in your New York Times column and blog posts. Now you have doubled down in the New York Review of Books, adding the accusation we didn't share our data. Your characterization of our work and of our policy impact is selective and shallow. It is deeply misleading about where we stand on the issues. And we would respectfully submit, your logic and evidence on the policy substance is not nearly as compelling as you imply.
