Estonian president unloads on Paul Krugman on Twitter. A Krugman blog post set him off: “a Keynesian belch” at a widely linked Global Post story which described “how Estonia managed to kickstart rapid economic growth while the rest of Europe got sucked into a black hole. Three words: ‘Austerity, austerity, austerity.'” Subtitled, Estonian prez sums up the whole Euro-American technocrat elistist class in five posts. Update: Dan Mitchell has a better documented (but less humorous) retort to Krugman.
