Peter S. Goodman is an economics journalist and the Global Economics correspondent for the New York Times. He played a lead role in the paper's award-winning coverage of the Great Recession, including a series that was a Pulitzer Prize finalist. He was previously based in London as the NY Times European Economics correspondent and spent a decade in Shanghai as the Bureau Chief for the Washington Post. His previous book, Davos Man: How the Billionaires Devoured the World was the focus of an earlier Praxis interview with Goodman.
