For more than a year, the bearded man consuming a shrimp salad at an Upper West Side cafe has been a prophet of doom, warning that the economy could slide into a “third depression” unless our leaders come to their senses and follow his advice. “I felt like a really lonely voice,” says Paul Krugman, an unknotted blue tie draped around his neck. “It’s been really frustrating.” But he keeps hammering away, demanding action in one New York Times column after another, hoping “to establish a counter-narrative against what everyone else is saying.”…In person, Krugman is several shades warmer, grousing about jet lag and delays in renovating the $1.7 million co-op he recently bought on Riverside Drive. “He’s very sweet,” says fellow Times columnist Gail Collins. “I’ve never heard him yell or get teed off at somebody.”
