"Paul Krugman’s is a lone voice, telling things as they are and debunking Washington policies that are neither compassionate nor conservative." – Paul Samuelson

Paul Krugman has at least three jobs: he is professor of economics and international affairs at Princeton University, Centenary Professor at the London School of Economics, and perhaps his best-known job is an op-ed columnist for The New York Times. In recognition of his influence, The Washington Monthly called him the most important political columnist in America.”
