Premio Nobel  1970

Paul Anthony Samuelson es un economista americano, nacido en Gary, Indiana. Obtuvo el Premio Nobel de Economía en 1970, por el trabajo científico a través del cual ha desarrollado la teoría económica estática y dinámica y contribuido activamente a elevar el nivel del análisis en la ciencia  económica.

Es autor del manual de economía más vendido de la historia, que, además de hacerlo extraordinariamente rico, ha servido para formar muchas generaciones de economistas de todo el mundo.

Además de pedagogo y divulgador, tiene muchas aportaciones originales. Está especialmente interesado en los aspectos dinámicos de la economía. Su principal mérito es quizá haber realizado la llamada "síntesis neoclásica", es decir, la fusión en un conjunto coherente de la economía de Keynes con la de sus predecesores.
