In 2006, he was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Science “for his analysis of intertemporal tradeoffs in macroeconomic policy.” We interviewed Professor Phelps at his hotel in San Francisco, on January 3, 2009, while attending the annual meeting of the Allied Social Science Associations.
