Paul Krugman @paulkrugman

He was also, however, an innovative economic leader, willing to break with fiscal and monetary orthodoxy in an attempt to break Japanese deflation. And unorthodox in surprising other ways too 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

As many have noted, he was an apologist for Japan's war crimes — not forgivable — and something of a militarist, or at least an advocate of a Japan once again willing to use force. Nothing good to say about that 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

So I met him in 2016, to argue against raising the value-added tax, which could derail Japan's economic progress. As in other cases in my life, I was pretty clearly a stalking horse, a foreign expert brought in to add credibility to a domestic policy faction. Which is OK! 4/ — PolitiTweet.org
