Paul Solman is an Americanjournalist focused on economics, business, and politics since the early 1970s. He has been the business and economics correspondent for thePBS NewsHour since 1985, with occasional forays into art reporting.[1]
He co-authored, with longtime PBS executive and writer Thomas Friedman,Life and Death on the Corporate Battlefield in 1983.[2] He joinedThe MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour (nowThe PBS NewsHour) in 1985.[3] Solman taught at the Harvard Business School from 1985 to 1987.[citation needed]
In 1994, with his professor at Brandeis, sociologistMorrie Schwartz, he helped create—and wrote the introduction to—the bookMorrie: In His Own Words, which precededTuesdays with Morrie but failed to outsell it by several orders of magnitude.[4]
From 2007 to 2016, he was a faculty member atYale University's International Security Studies program, teaching in its "Grand Strategy" course.[5] He also lectured for years at the Yale Young Global Scholars[6] program, the Warrior-Scholar program[7] at Yale, has taught atWest Point, among many universities, and was the Richman Distinguished Visiting professor at Brandeis in 2011.[4] He has also taught economics atGateway Community College inNew Haven, Connecticut, where he founded the Yale@Gateway speaker series.
Solman co-produced, with Bob Burns, and presented a series of companion videos to McGraw-Hill economics textbooks.[8]
His 2015 bookGet What's Yours: The Secrets to Maxing Out Your Social Security, a collaboration with economistLaurence Kotlikoff and authorPhilip Moeller, was a bona fide bestseller; the book was reissued in May 2016 due to changes in Social Security regulations.[9]
With his former Yale studentDavid McCullough and longtime Harvard professorRobert Glauber, Solman created theAmerican Exchange Project in 2018, a nonpolitical nonprofit domestic "foreign exchange" program that introduces high school seniors from everywhere in America to each other and sends and embeds them, for free, in communities utterly unlike their own.[10][11] Solman chairs the board and is an active recruiter of communities and support.[citation needed]
