Alumni Spotlight

Photo of Matthew Hennessey

Wall Street Journal op-ed editor, Matthew Hennessey, shines brightly as an exemplary alumnus of our esteemed Hunter College economics department.

In his latest book, “Visible Hand: A Wealth of Notions on the Miracle of the Market,” Hennessey eloquently brings economic principles to life, emphasizing their vital importance in everyday decision-making.

With gratitude, he acknowledges the profound impact of his time at Hunter College, where professors Devra Golbe and Partha Deb ignited his passion for economics, forever shaping his intellectual journey.

“I’m especially grateful to my professors at the Hunter College Economics Department who first ignited my interest in the subject…Specifically, I’m thinking of Devra Golbe and Partha Deb, in whose lecture I had my mind blown again and again.”
