Paul Krugman Comes to U of Michigan's Hill Auditorium
Harrison K. Wolstein
Issue date: 10/5/09 Section: News
About a week ago, I caught word that Paul Krugman would be coming to Michigan's campus to speak. In fact, it was hard not to hear about the event whether you wanted to or not. It's not every day that a speaker of this magnitude comes to our school and the buzz surrounding this event made me feel like I was in Econ class among Paul Krugman bumble bees. Krugman was originally slated to speak at the Rackham theatre. That didn't last very long. As demand for tickets was enormously high, Krugman's lecture was moved to a more fitting venue: the colossal and spectacular Hill Auditorium. On Friday, as I entered the auditorium for the first time waves of excitement ran through me. With the dramatic spherical shape bowed with bright arcs of light, the vast expanses of scarlet seats, and the golden organ pipes standing prominent on the stage, this auditorium was nothing short of stunning. I realized I would be in the presence of greatness, for it was quite clear that this auditorium demanded nothing less.
Dr. Krugman answers that demand in full form. Just take one look at his background and you will see he is a man of multiple talents. Dr. Krugman is currently professor of Economics and International Affairs at Princeton University, a centenary professor at the London School of Economics, and of course an op-ed columnist for The New York Times. Before joining The New York Times, Krugman spent 20 years of his time writing for Fortune, The New Republic, Foreign Policy, Newsweek, The New York Times Magazine, and wrote a non-economic column for the online magazine Slate. He has been called both the most important and celebrated economist of his generation. He has authored 20 books and over 200 professional journal articles. His book, The Great Unraveling, became a New York Times Bestseller in both hardcover and paperback. He has also teamed with his wife, Robin Wells, to write 2 textbooks (one of which I'm currently using in Econ 102). In recognition for his work he received the John Bates Clark Medal from the American Economic Association, an award given every 2 years to the best economist under the age of 40. He has also been granted the Austurias award by the King of Spain and the not too shabby Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences for 2008. Before teaching at Princeton, Krugman taught at Stanford, Yale, and MIT as the Ford International Professor of Economics. He was also the senior international economist under President Ronald Reagan. He has served as a consultant to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the United Nations, as well as to a number of countries. For an economist, one's background doesn't get much better than that.
