Greg Mankiw

If you've ever taken Econ 101, there's a decent chance Greg Mankiw is the reason you actually understood it — his introductory textbook has been the go-to for college economics courses for decades, and genuinely earning that kind of staying power in academia is no small thing. The Harvard professor and former chair of the Council of Economic Advisers under George W. Bush sits comfortably in the New Keynesian tradition, but what I've always appreciated is that he doesn't hide behind jargon — he blogs, he engages with critics, and he has a knack for making macroeconomic concepts feel less like punishment. He's willing to push back on both parties when he thinks they're wrong on the economics, which in today's climate takes a certain backbone. Not flashy, but quietly indispensable.
