Abstract: This note and interview commemorates Robert M. Solow (1924–2023), a distinguished economist renowned for championing neoclassical economics while fostering dialogue with diverse viewpoints. In a 2009 interview, Solow analyzed the Great Recession, attributing its origins to financial instability and regulatory shortcomings. He advocated for robust government intervention and highlighted the need to address critical gaps in growth theory, particularly the underexplored role of the financial system. Solow also stressed the importance of public investment in education and research as essential drivers of innovation and long-term economic progres.
