Paul Krugman critiques Paul Ryan's remarks attributing poverty to a 'culture' in inner cities, suggesting it reflects conservative racial dog-whistles. Krugman argues that American conservatism is driven by claims that liberals redistribute wealth to minorities, and highlights contradictions in conservative policies. He discusses the historical context of poverty and opportunity in America, noting that economic challenges have spread beyond minorities to the broader working class.
