In answer to your question about Krugman:
1. Perhaps he learned to write the way many of us did: by practicing a lot!
2. Krugman is an excellent writer but I think this is because he has a lot to say. I wouldn’t call him an excellent writer in the way that, say, Michael Lewis is. What Krugman has to offer is some important ideas and the desire to promulgate these ideas.
On an unrelated topic, see here for more on poisonous candy:
