Paul Krugman, recipient of the 2008 Nobel Memorial Prize in
Economic Sciences, taught at Princeton University for 14 years. In
2015, he joined the faculty of the Graduate Center of the City
University of New York, associated with the Luxembourg Income
Study, which tracks and analyzes income inequality around the
world. He received his BA from Yale and his PhD from MIT. Before
Princeton, he taught at Yale, Stanford, and MIT. He also spent a
year on the staff of the Council of Economic Advisers in 1982–1983.
His research has included trailblazing work on international trade,
economic geography, and currency crises. In 1991, Krugman received
the American Economic Association’s John Bates Clark medal. In
addition to his teaching and academic research, Krugman writes
extensively for nontechnical audiences. He is a regular op-ed
columnist for the New York Times. His best-selling trade books
include End This Depression Now!, The Return of Depression
Economics and the Crisis of 2008, a history of recent economic
troubles and their implications for economic policy, and The
Conscience of a Liberal, a study of the political economy of
economic inequality and its relationship with political
polarization from the Gilded Age to the present. His earlier books,
Peddling Prosperity and The Age of Diminished Expectations, have
become modern classics.
