Robert Solow

1924–2023

Robert Solow (1924–2023) was a Nobel Prize-winning American economist whose work on growth theory—the Solow-Swan model—transformed macroeconomics. He spent most of his career at MIT, where he was known for his sharp wit, clear writing, and deep skepticism of grand theoretical claims. Solow was a key figure in the postwar Keynesian synthesis and a vocal critic of austerity, supply-side economics, and the efficient-market hypothesis.
