Peter Goodman is the global economics correspondent for The New York Times, based in New York. Over the course of three decades in journalism, he has covered some of the most momentous economic transformations and upheavals—the global financial crisis of 2008 and the Great Recession, as the Times' New York-based national economic correspondent; the emergence of China into a global superpower, as the Shanghai bureau chief for The Washington Post; and the dot-com bubble, as a technology reporter based in Washington. During a five-year stint in London for the Times, he wrote about Brexit, the rise of right-wing populism in Europe, and the catastrophe of the coronavirus pandemic.
Goodman has reported from more than 50 countries, including stints in conflict zones such as Iraq, Cambodia, Sudan, and East Timor. He has been recognized with some of journalism’s top honors, including two Gerald Loeb awards and eight prizes from the Society of American Business Editors and Writers. His work as part of the Times’ series on the roots of the 2008 financial crisis was a Pulitzer finalist. As a cub reporter at the Anchorage Daily News in Alaska, he covered the Wasilla City Council and a then-little-known member, Sarah Palin.
Goodman appears frequently on major broadcast outlets including CBS News, CNN, MSNBC, and CNBC. He is a regular guest on The Daily, the New York Times’ most prominent podcast. He is the author of three books, including the recently released HOW THE WORLD RAN OUT OF EVERYTHING: Inside the Global Supply Chain (HarperCollins, 2024), and the best-selling DAVOS MAN: How the Billionaires Devoured the World (HarperCollins, 2022), which was included on NPR’s list of Best Books of the Year.
Goodman is a graduate of Reed College and gained a Master’s in Asian Studies from the University of California at Berkeley. He lives in the Hudson Valley with his wife, the novelist Deanna Fei, and their three children.

Award-winning journalist Peter S. Goodman reveals the fascinating inner-workings of our global supply chain and the factors that have led to its constant vulnerability. He takes audiences deep into this elaborate system, showcasing the triumphs and struggles of the human players who operate it, and the industries most vulnerable to its disruption. Goodman looks ahead to the factors that will alter the supply chain in the years ahead, from geopolitical realignments—and especially U.S.-China tensions—to climate change and technological innovation. He weaves a powerful argument for reform needed to make manufacturing and transportation systems more reliable and resilient.
