 What solution does Paul Krugman suggest to address his concerns?
1) Krugman claims that my opening sentence--"In a way, Bill Gates's current troubles with the Justice Department grew out of an economics seminar that took place thirteen years ago, at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government"--is "pure fiction." 4) Krugman appears to suggest that I made up some quotes, a charge that, if it came from a more objective source, I would consider to be a serious matter. 5) For a man who takes his own cogitations extremely seriously, Krugman is remarkably cavalier about attributing motives and beliefs to others. Which brings me to Professor Krugman's letter, and my reply. Accordingly, I included a passage in Complexity in which Brian does indeed describe what others had done in the field--Paul Krugman among them.

 Journalists and authors should rely on only a handful of trusted sources.  Journalists and authors should show more care in referencing and crediting work done by all parties.  Journalists and authors should always fact-check information through Nobel laureates.  More media attention should be given to issues of academic plagiarism.
