Justin Fox is the economics and business columnist for Time magazine. He also writes the Curious Capitalist blog on Time.com.

In 2000 and 2001, he was the magazine’s Europe editor, based in London.

Prior to joining Fortune, Fox worked at several newspapers, including American Banker and The Birmingham (Alabama) News. He has a degree in international affairs from Princeton University, studied political science at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands, and speaks Dutch and German. Fox is married and has a son. He lives in Manhattan.

His first book, The Myth of the Rational Market, is a history of the rise and fall of the efficient market hypothesis—the influential academic theory that financial markets are nearly perfectly rational and correct.
