Steve Randy Waldman (born 1970) is a computer programmer and writer known for his commentary on contemporary economics at his blog Interfluidity. Educated at the New College of Florida, and University of Kentucky, [1] Waldman is a Java programmer and wrote the c3p0 tool. He is most well known for his economics posts at Interfluidity, which have been cited by Paul Krugman, [2] Tyler Cowen, [3] Simon Wren-Lewis, [4] The Economist, [5] CNBC, [6] the National Review, [7] Nicholas Gruen, [8] Justin Fox of Time magazine, [9] and Matt Levine. [10] Waldman supports a basic income [11] (or other ways to provide a strong social safety net) and otherwise describes himself as "Danish libertarian".

Waldman is known for his criticism of financial regulation: [12] James Kwak quotes "An enduring truth about financial regulation is this: Given the discretion to do so, financial regulators will always do the wrong thing." [13] Paul Krugman of the New York Times often cites Waldman; he talks about him 'going medieval' on Ezra Klein, [14] and another time: "we are indeed, as Steve Randy Waldman says, all dorks". [15]

The writer and novelist Adelle Waldman [16] [17] is Waldman's sister. His mother, Jacqueline Waldman, was a chemistry professor at Goucher College. [18]
