Samuelson wrote THE Econ 101 textbook. He represented the post-War Keynesian consensus. Also he was the co-author of the major theory of how international trade affects wages and returns of capital, those who argue international wage has had a major negative effect on wages on low skilled workers in the US are right theoretically.
“Samuelson wrote THE Econ 101 textbook...”
That is true. That was the textbook that introduced me to economics in college. Unfortunately, the professor was, like Samuelson, a true believer in Keynesian economics. It seems that all of Obama’s economics team is, too.
