Paul Krugman Alien Threat Theory, Economic Stimulus (28:05–32:46) Economist Paul Krugman previously proposed that a perceived threat from space aliens could provide the necessary fiscal stimulus to end an economic slump. This theory, discussed on CNN's Fareed Zakaria GPS, suggests that massive government spending on defense would mirror the economic boost seen during World War II. Critics link this "Krugman playbook" to current media coverage of unidentified aerial phenomena.
