Description
A unique and illuminating portrait of economists and their work
Providing illuminating profiles of ninety of the world's most prominent economists-from Nobel Prize winners and former Federal Reserve chairs to young scholars charting the future of the field-this stunning volume pairs full-page portraits by acclaimed photographer Mariana Cook with short essays written by the sitters in response to questions posed by Nobel Laureate Robert M. Solow about their work. Together, the words and photographs offer a unique look into the world of economists and serve as an accessible entry point into the views shaping policy and research decisions by such luminaries as Ben Bernanke, Janet Yellen, Mario Draghi, Steven Levitt, Robert Shiller, Esther Duflo, Paul Krugman, and Susan Athey, among many others.
