Why did Obama and Clinton economic adviser, 58, take his own life despite having a new book coming out in June?

  • Alan Krueger's sixth book, Rockonomics, will be released on June 19 
  • The Princeton University economist served in the Clinton and Obama administrations
  • His family announced on Monday through Princeton that he had killed himself 
  • They have not released any other details surrounding his death 
  • Krueger was an avid Twitter user who tweeted daily until the end of January  
  • He was known as an expert on the labor market who argued that raising minimum wage did not slow hiring
  • President Obama named Krueger chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers
  • 'He helped us return the economy to growth and sustained job creation, to bring down the deficit in a responsible way,' Obama said in a statement

 

 

The suicide of Alan Krueger, a former Obama and Clinton adviser who killed himself this weekend, has shocked the worlds of politics and business where he was universally revered. 

Krueger, 58, had a new book coming out in June and was still a member of faculty at Princeton University in New Jersey.

He lived at home with his wife Lisa, with whom he has two children, Benjamin, 28, and Sydney, 26. He is survived by them, his elderly parents and siblings. 

The family confirmed that he killed himself in a statement that was released by Princeton on Monday but no further details surrounding his death have emerged.

 
 
 

Krueger, who served as a top adviser to both Obama and Clinton, recently completed his sixth book, Rockonomics. 

The book, which will be released in June, 'uses the music industry, from superstar artists to music executives, from managers to promoters, as a way in to explain key principles of economics, and the forces shaping our economic lives.' 

He was an avid tweeter who used social media almost daily until the end of January when he suddenly stopped. Currency, his publisher, has not commented on his death.

Krueger was best known for his groundbreaking research into minimum wage and the effect it had on labor. 

He determined that a higher minimum wage did not slow down hiring as conservatives have long argued.  

After serving as a Labor Department economist under President Bill Clinton, Krueger worked for President Barack Obama as a top Treasury official and then as chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers from 2011 to 2013.

In a statement, Obama credited Krueger with helping revive the U.S. economy after the devastating 2008 financial crisis.

'He spent the first two years of my administration helping to engineer our response to the worst financial crisis in 80 years and to successfully prevent the chaos from spiraling into a second Great Depression,' Obama said. 

'He helped us return the economy to growth and sustained job creation, to bring down the deficit in a responsible way and to set the stage for wages to rise again.'

In his statement, Obama said of Krueger: 'He had a perpetual smile and a gentle spirit - even when he was correcting you. That's what made him Alan a fundamentally good and decent man'

I think we will be seeing a lot more Suicides, Exploring Cars and building falling on people here in the next couple weeks.....Obama and Clinton have a lot to be worried about and these people are going to need to be silenced.

Ahhh, but the book is coming and now I am curious! Maybe part of the ploy for higher book sales, going to extream? Anything for an extra buck and higher book sales, even if its commiting suicide with a gunshot to the back of the head. Sheez.
