Paul Craig Roberts (born April 3, 1939) is an American economist and a
columnist for Creators Syndicate. He served as an Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury in the Reagan Administration earning fame as a
co-founder of Reaganomics.[1] He is a former editor and columnist for
the Wall Street Journal, Business Week, and Scripps Howard News
Service who has testified before congressional committees on 30
occasions on issues of economic policy.

Roberts is a critic of Israel, calling Gaza "the world's largest
concentration camp" populated by people who were "driven out of
Palestine so that Israel could steal their land." Roberts has been a
critic of both Democratic and Republican administrations. Although
Roberts praised Ronald Reagan, he has compared supporters of George W.
Bush to "brownshirts with the same low intelligence and morals as
Hitler's enthusiastic supporters." He has opposed the War on Drugs and
the War on Terror stating it has "made widows and orphans of millions
of Muslims". He believes the official explanation for the events on
9/11 is a "scientific impossibility".
