PAUL KRUGMAN WINS 2008 NOBEL PRIZE IN ECONOMICS

One of the world's most famous economist, Paul Krugman has won the Nobel Prize in Economics.

His victory has cast a fresh light on Tun Daim Zainuddin and Tun Dr Mahathir as the duo carried out Krugman-esque protective measures to shield Malaysia from the 1997 economic crisis that gave almost all other Asian countries that mattered a financial whiplash. Malaysia rode through that crisis having taken its own self-prescribed bitter medicine.
