Paul A. Samuelson, 94

Paul A. Samuelson, Economist, passed away on 13 December 2009 in his home in Belmont, MA. He was 94. He is probably best known for his Economics textbook, which, even after n editions, must be among the most widely used textbooks in history. First written in 1948, I used the textbook when I took Economics 11 in 1997 and it is probably still being used at the School today.

In the name of everyone who had to study introductory economics whether as a required subject or as the first step in a life-long exploration of this science, thank you.
