  <p>I’m posting our Wednesday conversation as this week’s video. Transcript below.</p><p>. . .</p><p>TRANSCRIPT: Paul Krugman in Conversation with Heather Cox Richardson</p><p>(recorded 5/20/26)</p><p>Heather Cox Richardson: How are you doing, Professor Krugman? I know you’re on vacation.</p><p>Paul Krugman: Yeah. As I wrote the other day, I’m in Europe, which means I don’t have to think about Trump 100% of the time, only about 90%.
