Learn more about Paul Krugman Teaches Economics and Society: https://www.masterclass.com/pk In his economics class, Paul says that “economics covers 70% of life.” Not the passions and deep meanings, but everything that keeps clothes on our backs, food on our plates, and the trains running on time. The economic lens can help tell us how income inequality happens, it can predict how tariffs on Chinese steel will play out, and it can steer us toward more effective policies to get us out of a recession.

He is a NYT columnist, lecturer, best-selling author, and won a Nobel for his theories on international trade and economies of scale. Through it all, he’s made it his mission to translate complex and abstract economic concepts into plain English.
