Who amongst the following is an Economist of international fame and was in news recently?

John Key

The correct answer is B. Paul Krugman.

Paul Krugman is an American economist who is currently a Distinguished Professor of Economics at the City University of New York Graduate Center and a Nobel Laureate in Economics. He is known for his work on international trade, international finance, and economic geography. He has been a regular columnist for The New York Times since 1999.

In recent years, Krugman has been a vocal critic of the Trump administration’s economic policies. He has argued that the administration’s tariffs and other protectionist measures will harm the US economy and lead to a trade war. He has also criticized the administration’s tax cuts, arguing that they will benefit the wealthy at the expense of the middle class.

Krugman is a controversial figure, but he is widely respected as one of the world’s leading economists. His work has had a major impact on the field of economics, and his columns are read by millions of people around the world.
