In 1970 Paul Samuelson (1915-2009) became the first American to win the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences. Economic historian Randall E. Parker has called him the 'Father of Modern Economics', and the New York Times considers him to be the 'foremost academic economist of the 20th century'." - Wikipedia.
