COEDITOR: PAUL A. SAMUELSON
The book, Inside the Economist's Mind, is coedited by Paul A. Samuelson and William A. Barnett. Although this Blog is hosted solely by the latter coeditor, the following is the information in the book's front matter about Paul Samuelson:
Paul A. Samuelson was the first American to win the Nobel Prize in Economics. He is Professor Emeritus of Economics and Institute Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Institute Professor is the highest rank awarded by MIT. His landmark 1947 book, Foundations of Economic Analysis, based upon his Ph.D. dissertation at Harvard University, established him as "the economists' economist" by raising the standards of the entire profession. Paul Samuelson's classic textbook, Economics, first published in 1948, is among the most successful textbooks ever published in the field. The book's 16 editions have sold over four million copies and have been translated into 41 languages. He received his B.A. degree from the University of Chicago and his M.A. and Ph.D. from Harvard University. As one of the profession's most productive scholars for over a half-century, he remains an intellectual force of towering stature.

Dear Mr.Barnett
I am an economics Journalist living in IRAN.I read your book "Inside the Economist's Mind " and by borowing the term from Mr.Loungani of IMF let me say , I realy fell in love with the conversations you have gathered in one volume.It was what i was desire to find and by chance when I was searching in Amazon Books I found it .I am interested to translate the book and thats why i am here and writing to you.So would you please give me the permission to translate your book into Persian.I am sure the wealth of information gathered in one volume by you and the credit of the names like Mr.Paul Samuelson on the cover will be helpful in attracting young Iranians to read it.I am hopeful this volume could help the poeple in my country specially young generation of economics students to get more acquaintance with the giants of the realm of economics which is unsuitably named dismal science.
Thank you
Reza
Dear Reza,
I think it would be an excellent idea to translate the book, ITEM, into Persian, as you suggested on your comment to ITEM's blog. But the permission must come from the publisher (Wiley/Blackwell) who owns the copyright to the book. Please contact Dale Morgan:
dale.morgan at wiley.com
Sincerely,
W. A. Barnett
