Alan B. Krueger
Alan Bennett Krueger was a Princeton economics professor and former Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors under President Obama.
Known for influential research on minimum wage laws and labor economics, he was a prolific and widely cited economist.
Tragically, Krueger died in 2019 before Rockonomics was published.
Reviewers repeatedly express sadness at his premature death, noting he possessed unprecedented access to high-profile industry figures and data.
His expertise in economic theory, combined with his methodical approach to collecting and analyzing evidence, made him uniquely qualified to examine the music industry.
Though admittedly only an average music fan, his rigorous economic framework provided authoritative insights into entertainment economics.
