Paul Samuelson
Paul Samuelson (1915-2009) was an American economist and a recipient of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 1970. He is widely recognized for his contributions to modern economic theory, particularly in the areas of welfare economics, public goods, and the theory of consumer behavior. Samuelson's seminal textbook, 'Economics,' published in 1948, was one of the first to present economic concepts in a systematic and mathematically rigorous way, shaping economics education for generations. His famous quip, 'The market predicted ten of the last five recessions,' reflects his understanding of economic forecasting and market behavior.
