Paul Krugman

Nobel Prize–winning economist (2008), Princeton professor, and longtime New York Times columnist. Known for his work on international trade, economic geography, and currency crises — and for his clear-eyed public commentary on inequality, austerity, and the politics of economic policy.

Connection

Justin Fox — business journalist for Bloomberg Businessweek, Fortune, and HBR — has interviewed Krugman numerous times. Justin is connected to Herbert through Joel Anderson.

Why Herbert Would Be Delighted

Krugman has been one of the most visible voices in the United States arguing for a robust social safety net and for the moral dimensions of economic policy — positions that align naturally with Herbert's progressive commitments.
