But through his incessant trumpeting of outdated solutions he blocks innovative thinking, new ideas. Yes he asks some questions but seems to fear going down the road to possible solutions.

Seems like Krugman is finally beginning to move away from his learned dogma. Perhaps he has been reading Keith's postings. In any event time to think about policies for a digital economy and time to think again about the bit tax as a way of distributing the productivity of a highly automated economy so as to maintain effective demand.
