Steven Landsburg Biography

Steven Landsburg is one of the most popular and richest Economist who was born on February 24, 1954 in United States. Steven E. Landsburg (born on 24 February 1954) is an American professor of economics at the University of Rochester in Rochester, New York. From 1989 to 1995 Landsburg was a professor in the department of economics at Colorado State University. Landsburg is also a vocal critic of legal, economic and political topics whose remarks have been sometimes viewed as controversial.

Landsburg is a professor of intermediate and advanced economics in the University of Rochester. Landsburg was elevated from an adjunct professor to professor in the academic year 2005-2006 and in 2007 he won his University’s Fellow of the Year award in Sociological Sciences award.

In March 2012, Landsburg supported some of pop radio personality Rush Limbaugh’s attacks against a Georgetown University student, Sandra Fluke Fluke spoke before Congress advocating mandating birth control coverage in some insurance programs, citing their use in preventing ovarian cysts. “There are really good arguments for subsidizing and bad arguments for subsidizing [birth control],” Landsburg said during an interview with WHAM-TV. “However, [Fluke] didn’t bother to make any. She made no argument. She simply said she wanted it subsidized.” On his blog, Landsburg discussed Limbaugh’s calling Fluke a “slut”, and said “A far better word might have been ‘prostitute’ (or a five- letter synonym therefor), but that’s still wrong because Ms. Fluke is not in fact demanding to be paid for sex…The right word for that is something much closer to ‘extortionist’.” Landsburg’s comments drew a rebuke from University of Rochester President Joel Seligman, who said he was “outraged that any professor would demean a student in this fashion”, and a silent protest from thirty UR students who formed a line between him and his students during one of his classes.

Landsburg has spoken at many distinguished events and in February 2012 he spoke at Warwick Economics Summit and the Adam Smith Institute in the United Kingdom.

Landsburg also discussed legal issues in an article in Slate column in 2003, he advocated for the punishment of jurors when a verdict of a jury has been later “proven” to be wrong in the event that an innocent defendant later admits they committed the offense. If the jury’s verdict was then “proven” to be right, Landsburg suggested the jurors should be rewarded financially.
