Jason Furman
Jason Furman is an American economist who chaired President Obama's Council of Economic Advisers from 2013 to 2017 and now teaches the famous Economics 10 introductory course at Harvard alongside David Laibson. The Aetna Professor of the Practice of Economic Policy at Harvard Kennedy School and a nonresident senior fellow at the Peterson Institute, he is one of the most widely quoted policy economists working today, dissecting tariffs, inflation, deficits and AI in the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Project Syndicate and on his prolific X feed.
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).
