Nobel Prize in Economics Winner Paul Krugman Makes Statement on the US Economy
Nobel Prize winner in economics Paul Krugman stated that the US economy is “in an abnormal state in many respects.”
“The US economy is currently moving away from normal functioning on many levels,” Krugman wrote in a post on his personal blog, Substack.
Krugman said the government shutdown delayed the release of the September employment report, leaving policymakers in a state of “partial blindness.” According to the renowned economist, economic data that appears positive on the surface can, upon closer inspection, raise alarming signals.
Krugman said that this “abnormal” situation in the economy manifests itself under three main headings:
- Sharp polarization: He pointed out that while the field of artificial intelligence is growing rapidly, other sectors are stagnating.
- Employment freeze: While there have been no large-scale layoffs, the unemployed or those seeking new jobs are having difficulty finding employment, he said.
- K-shaped growth: He stated that although investments in artificial intelligence support economic growth, this growth is concentrated in the upper income segment of society, while middle and low-income consumers face increasing difficulties.
Krugman described the current outlook for the US economy as “one that is experiencing rapid growth in the age of artificial intelligence but deepening inequality.”
