The first American to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics, Paul Samuelson also wrote the most successful economics textbook ever published. His Foundations of Economic Analysis, which ranks with the works of Adam Smith, David Ricardo, John Stuart Mill and Alfred Marshall, developed a unified field theory of economic activity, and prompted the New York Times to call him the “Einstein of economics.”
