Paul Krugman
Paul Krugman, born in Albany, New York, in 1953, is the economist turned columnist who’s as likely to ruffle feathers as he is to win accolades. A Nobel laureate in Economic Sciences (2008) for his work on international trade theory, Krugman became a household name thanks to his biting critiques in "The New York Times," where he’s been a relentless critic of everything from austerity measures to conservative economic policies. While hailed as a Keynesian crusader by his fans, his detractors see him as overly partisan, never shying away from controversy, and always ready with an acidic take on the latest fiscal folly.
