TRANSCRIPT:
Question: What is the hard part of your work?
Paul Krugman: I don’t like being in my . . . in my public persona. There’s . . . there’s a lot of abuse involved. There’s a lot of ... stuff. I try to avoid it myself, but I probably don’t fully succeed. But there are people who will, if you are saying things they would rather not have people hear, they will go after you personally. I really hate going on talk TV which is, you know . . . which are largely shouting matches, but it has to be done. You know I take no pleasure in all of that. I’m a lot better than I was. You first get into it and it’s pretty shocking. At this point yeah. I’ve got . . . I’ve got calluses all over.
