On Sunday, one of the best-known American economists, former MIT Professor Paul Samuelson, passed away at the age of 94.  He authored the most widely used college textbook on Economics, which focuses more on Macroeconomics (the big picture) than on Microeconomics (individual firms and markets, and the basis of our course).  Samuelson was a disciple of the liberal economist John Maynard Keynes discussed in our Lecture Thirteen, but Samuelson did permit some conservative concepts to be included in his textbook and supported tax cuts during the Kennedy Administration in the early 1960s.
