As a reader who follows Professor Krugman's writings (especially his analysis of the Asian economies before and after the 1990's crisis), I am really pleased about his winning the Nobel Memorial Prize for Economic Science. A sampling of his work- a public lecture that he gave in 2004, may be downloaded at http://forum.wgbh.org
And because of his high public profile (he is a regular columnist at NYT) and his consistent criticism of the Bush Administration and the conservatism in public policies, there are naturally some criticism in the Swedish Academy's decision in giving out the award, especially in the time of financial great unraveling (pun intended). One example is the austrian economists blog.
