Justin Wolfers
Justin Wolfers is an Australian-American economist who turns dense data into plain talk for the rest of us. A professor of economics and public policy at the University of Michigan's Ford School, he co-hosts the Think Like an Economist podcast with his partner Betsey Stevenson, writes the Platypus Economics newsletter, and is one of the most quoted economic voices in American media. His work spans macroeconomics, labor markets, prediction markets, sports, and the surprisingly stubborn question of whether money buys happiness (his answer: more than people think).
