Joshua Banerjee

Joshua James Banerjee, born 9th March 1993, is an English student and Economist, and an rising member of the Saltwater School of Economics.
Banerjee fist caught the attention of the accademic community when he was mentioned by Nobel Prize Winner in Economics, Paul Krugman -who called Banerjee 'one of the most promising neo-Keynesian Economists of our time- ,in the book The Nobel Laureates: How the Greatest Economic Minds of Our Time Shaped Modern Thought.
Further notice was taken of Banerjee, when he was quoted in the acclaimed book by Robert J Shiller: The Subprime Solution:
How Today's Global Financial Crisis Happened, and What to Do about It. Shiller claims that Banerjee's fantastic grasp of Applied Mathematics has enabled him to "cause even the greatest minds of our time to question their deepest held views on the so called "fundamentals" of Economic thought". This view was supported by Russian Mathematician Andrei Okounkov, who called Banerjee "the greatest genius since Laplace".
Banerjee, as of the second half of 2009 began work on a much anticipated paper entitled Ressurection of the Father: neo-Keynesianism. The title of the paper refers to the resurgence of Keynesianist economic thought in the wake of the 2008 Financial Crisis. The word "father" is used, as Keynesianist Economic thought was pioneered by the so called "father" of macroeconomics, John Maynard Keynes.
Joshua is as known supporter of the British Labour Party, and is widely understood to support the fiscal stimulus implemented by Gordon Brown during the 2008 Financial Crisis.
