Is partisanship infecting every corner of today's realm of ideas? Stephen Sackur interviews Nobel Prize-winning economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman.

Stephen Sackur interviews the Nobel Prize-winning economist and New York Times columnist, whose latest book suggests America’s political and economic future is threatened by zombie ideas peddled largely by America’s conservative movement. Has he become addicted to the partisan warfare he professes to despise?
