Simon Johnson is the former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund. I don't know him personally, but from his writings and his past positions, I would guess him to be very much a centrist economist. He presented a very clear and carefully thought account of the nation's financial crisis on Bill Moyers' Journal last night. This is well worth everyone's time.
