“Paul Krugman once said: ‘If there were an Economist’s Creed, it would surely contain the affirmations ‘I understand comparative advantage’ and ‘I advocate Free Trade.’’ We agree. Alas, economists have a nasty habit of overcomplicating the virtues of trade when we communicate with the public. That’s why we propose that our fellow economists adopt a new creed when we talk trade with the public: ‘KISS: Keep It Simple, Stupid.'” (10/29/26)
