Oooooo!

Wait, Paul Krugman is going to be at Worldcon? Paul "The Theory of Interstellar Trade" Krugman is going to be at Worldcon?

As a hardcore policy geek, and a big fan of macroeconomic theory (What, you didn't know this?) I'm going to have to track him down and get him to sign the copy of The Theory of Interstellar Trade I'm printing as we speak. I've used this paper in developing settings before. He's like an economic deity to me.

Geekier than Thou!

Yup! Also one of the models for President Josiah Bartlett in The West Wing.
