Scope and content:

Material related to Samuelson's public speeches, magazine interviews, and other events. Common themes are the global economy, Keynesian economics, inflation, debt, and political influences on economics (including his thoughts on various leaders such as Presidents Bush and Clinton). Many interviews are with foreign magazines or news stations, and have been translated into Spanish, Italian, Japanese, and other languages; these frequently include Samuelson's thoughts on the economics of the host country. Other speeches are much more personal, including his remarks at family events, reunions, birthday parties, and funerals.

There are 30 subseries, one per year. The type of material varies: files may include correspondence between the inviting organization and Samuelson, Samuelson's script from the event, official transcripts (some edited) of the speech or interview, published accounts or news clippings from the event, and other ephemera. Some files also include audiovisual material.

Several recordings of Samuelson's public presentations, possibly including versions of speeches in this series, can be found in the Audiovisual Material series.
