J. Bradford DeLong Biography

J. Bradford DeLong is one of the most popular and richest Economist who was born on June 24, 1960 in Boston, Boston, United States. James Bradford “Brad” DeLong (born June 24, 1960) is an economic historian who is professor of Economics at the University of California, Berkeley. DeLong served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Treasury in the Clinton Administration under Lawrence Summers.

He joined UC Berkeley as an associate professor in 1993. From April 1993 to May 1995, he served as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Economic Policy at the U.S. Department of the Treasury in Washington, D.C. He served under As an official in the Treasury Department in the Clinton administration, he worked on the 1993 federal budget, the unsuccessful health care reform effort, and on other policies, and on several trade issues, including the Uruguay Round of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and the North American Free Trade Agreement. He became a full professor at Berkeley in 1997 and has been there ever since.

DeLong has been a critic of his Berkeley colleague, John Yoo, a law professor who worked in the Office of Legal Counsel under President George W. Bush. Yoo authored the torture memos authorizing the Bush administration to use torture during the war on terror, and crafting the unitary executive theory. DeLong wrote a letter to the Berkeley Chancellor Robert Birgeneau calling for Yoo’s dismissal in February 2009.

In 2019, DeLong said that he and other neoliberals had been “certainly wrong, 100 percent, on the politics” of economic policies. While he continued to believe that “good incremental policies” might be superior, he concluded that they were unattainable politically, because of the absence of Republicans willing to work toward such goals. Instead, DeLong said, he favored “Medicare- for-all, funded by a carbon tax, with a whole bunch of [Universal Basic Income] rebates for the poor and public investment in green technologies.” He concluded, “The world appears to be more like what lefties thought it was than what I thought it was for the last 10 or 15 years.”

In 1990 and 1991 DeLong and Lawrence Summers co-wrote two theoretical papers that were to become critical theoretical underpinnings for the financial deregulation put in place when Summers was Secretary of the Treasury under Bill Clinton.
