.Paul Anthony Samuelson (May 15, 1915 – December 13, 2009) was an American. The first American to win the, the stated, when awarding the prize in 1970, that he 'has done more than any other contemporary economist to raise the level of scientific analysis in economic theory'. Economic historian Randall E.
Parker has called him the 'Father of Modern ', and considered him to be the 'foremost academic economist of the 20th century'.Samuelson was likely the most influential economist of the later 20th century. In 1996, when he was awarded the, considered to be America's top science-honor, President commended Samuelson for his 'fundamental contributions to economic science' for over 60 years. Samuelson considered to be the 'natural language' for economists and contributed significantly to the mathematical foundations of economics with his book. He was author of the best-selling economics textbook of all time:, first published in 1948. It was the second American textbook that attempted to explain the principles of. It is now in its 19th edition, having sold nearly 4 million copies in 40 languages, including Russian, French, Greek, Slovak, Chinese, Portuguese, German, Spanish, Polish, Japanese, Czech, Vietnamese, Hungarian, Indonesian, Swedish, Croatian, Dutch, Turkish, Hebrew, Italian, and Arabic., former head of 's Department of Economics, noted that by his book, Samuelson 'leaves an immense legacy, as a researcher and a teacher, as one of the giants on whose shoulders every contemporary economist stands'.He entered the at age 16, during the depths of the, and received his in economics from.
After graduating, he became an assistant professor of economics at (MIT) when he was 25 years of age and a full professor at age 32. In 1966, he was named, MIT's highest faculty honor. He spent his career at MIT where he was instrumental in turning its Department of Economics into a world-renowned institution by attracting other noted economists to join the faculty, including, and, all of whom went on to win Nobel Prizes.He served as an advisor to Presidents and, and was a consultant to the, the Bureau of the Budget and the President's.
Samuelson wrote a weekly column for magazine along with economist, where they represented opposing sides: Samuelson, as a self described 'Cafeteria Keynesian', claimed taking the Keynesian perspective but only accepting what he felt was good in it. By contrast, Friedman represented the perspective. Together with, their 1967 columns earned the magazine a in 1968. Contents.Biography Samuelson was born in, on May 15, 1915, to Frank Samuelson, a, and Ella Lipton. His family, he later said, was 'made up of upwardly mobile immigrants from who had prospered considerably in, because Gary was a brand new steel-town when my family went there'. In 1923, Samuelson moved to Chicago where he graduated from Hyde Park High School (now ).
He then studied at the and received his degree there in 1935. He said he was born as an economist, at 8.00am on January 2, 1932, in the University of Chicago classroom. The lecture mentioned as the cause was on the British economist, who most famously studied population growth and its effects.
Samuelson felt there was a dissonance between and the way the system seemed to behave; he said and were a big influence on him. He next completed his degree in 1936, and his in 1941 at. He won the David A. Wells prize in 1941 for writing the best doctoral dissertation at Harvard University in economics, for a thesis titled 'Foundations of Analytical Economics', which later turned into. As a graduate student at Harvard, Samuelson studied economics under, and the 'American Keynes'. The competitive price system adapted from Samuelson, 1961 Foundations of Economic Analysis Samuelson's book (1946) is considered his. It is derived from his doctoral dissertation, and was inspired by the methods.
The book proposes to:. examine underlying analogies between central features in theoretical and applied economics and. study how theorems can be derived with a small number of analogous methods (p. 3),in order to derive 'a general theory of economic theories' (Samuelson, 1983, p. The book showed how these goals could be parsimoniously and fruitfully achieved, using the language of the mathematics applied to diverse subfields of economics. The book proposes two general hypotheses as sufficient for its purposes:. maximizing behavior of agents (including consumers as to utility and business firms as to profit) and. economic systems (including a market and an economy) in stable equilibrium.In the first tenet, his views presented the idea that all actors, whether firms or consumers, are striving to maximize something.
They could be attempting to maximize profits, utility, or wealth, but it did not matter because their efforts to improve their well-being would provide a basic model for all actors in an economic system. His second tenet was focused on providing insight on the workings of equilibrium in an economy. Generally in a market, supply would equal demand.
However, he urged that this might not be the case and that the important thing to look at was a system's natural resting point. Foundations presents the question of how an equilibrium would react when it is moved from its optimal point. Samuelson was also influential in providing explanations on how the changes in certain factors can affect an economic system. For example, he could explain the economic effect of changes in taxes or new technologies.In the course of analysis, (the analysis of changes in equilibrium of the system that result from a parameter change of the system) is formalized and clearly stated.The chapter on 'attempt(s) to give a brief but fairly complete survey of the whole field of welfare economics' (Samuelson, 1947, p. 252). It also exposits on and develops what became commonly called the –Samuelson.
It shows how to represent (in the maximization calculus) all real-valued economic measures of any belief system that is required to rank consistently different feasible social configurations in an ethical sense as 'better than', 'worse than', or 'indifferent to' each other (p. 221).Economics. Main article:Samuelson is also author (and since 1985 co-author) of an influential principles textbook, first published in 1948, now in its 19th edition. The book has been translated into forty-one languages and sold over four million copies; it is considered the best-selling economics textbook in history. Samuelson was once quoted as saying, 'Let those who will write the nation's laws if I can write its textbooks.' Written in the shadow of the and the, it helped to popularize the insights of.
A main focus was how to avoid, or at least mitigate, the recurring slumps in economic activity.Samuelson wrote: 'It is not too much to say that the widespread creation of dictatorships and the resulting World War II stemmed in no small measure from the world's failure to meet this basic economic problem the Great Depression adequately.' This reflected the concern of Keynes himself with the economic causes of war and the importance of economic policy in promoting peace.Samuelson's influential textbook has been criticized for including comparative between the United States and the that were inconsistent with historical differences. The 1967 edition extrapolates the possibility of Soviet/US parity between 1977 and 1995. Each subsequent edition extrapolated a date range further in the future until those graphs were dropped from the 1985 edition.In 1989, Samuelson commented on the economics of the Soviet Union and: 'Contrary to what many skeptics had earlier believed, the Soviet economy is proof that. A socialist, command economy can function and even thrive.' The happened during the same year and the Soviet Union broke up two years later.Samuelson's book was the second one that attempted to introduce to a wider audience Keynesian economics, yet by far the most successful one.
Canadian economist, who had been a student attending Keynes's lectures at Harvard in the 1930s, published in 1947 an introductory textbook that incorporated his Tarshis's lecture notes, titled The Elements of Economics. It was attacked by trustees of, and donors, to American colleges and universities as preaching a ' '. Attacked the Tarshis analysis as 'communist inspired'.
Other publications There are 388 papers in Samuelson's Collected Scientific Papers. (1987, p. 234) writes that taken together they are 'unique in their verve, breadth of economic and general knowledge, mastery of setting, and generosity of allusions to predecessors.' Samuelson was co-editor, along with, of Inside the Economist's Mind: Conversations with Eminent Economists (Blackwell Publishing, 2007), a collection of interviews with notable economists of the 20th century.Memberships.
