Russell Roberts (economist)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Russell Roberts, a student of Milton Friedman[1] and Austrian School economist, is a professor of economics at George Mason University, and former Director of the Center for Experiential Learning at Washington University in St. Louis. Roberts is a regular commentator on business and economics for National Public Radio's Morning Edition, and has written for the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. Professor Roberts focuses on communicating economics to non-economists, and to that end is the host of the podcast EconTalk and blogs at cafehayek.com. He has also written a novel called Invisible Heart which conveys economic ideas in the context of a narrative.
Roberts, a graduate from the University of Chicago, has been a vocal critic of the official price indexes of the United States, particularly from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.[2]
