Bio: David Leonhardt writes a weekly economics column for The New York Times

mathematics at Yale and did a series of journalism internships during
college, at Business Week magazine, the New Haven Register, the Boston
Globe and the Washington Post. At the Post, he worked for the city and
Maryland desks, covering crime, education and the building of two local
sports stadiums. He then worked for Business Week magazine, first in New
York and later in Chicago.
He joined the Times in 1999 as a business reporter. In 2004, David
