Paul Krugman Retires After 25 Years at The New York Times

The Nobel Prize-winning economist and columnist will write his final piece by year’s end, concluding a career marked by influential commentary on economics and politics.

Paul Krugman, a Nobel laureate in economics, announced his retirement from The New York Times after nearly 25 years of writing for the Opinion section.
Krugman gained recognition for his clear and incisive analysis of complex economic issues, including globalization, trade, and government policy.
He was known for taking bold and often unpopular stances, including his opposition to the Iraq War, criticism of Barack Obama’s Great Recession response, and warnings about Donald Trump’s tariff policies.
Times Opinion Editor Kathleen Kingsbury praised Krugman’s ability to make economics accessible and engaging, calling him a ‘beacon of clear, moral, and inventive analysis.’
Krugman plans to remain active in public discourse, with speculation suggesting he may appear on other media platforms following his departure.
