About this person
At the age of 33, Loury became the first African American professor of economics at Harvard University to gain tenure. Loury achieved some prominence during the Reagan Era as a leading black conservative intellectual. In the mid-1990s, following a period of seclusion, he came to adopt more progressive views. Loury has somewhat re-aligned with views of the American right, with The New York Times describing his political orientation in 2020 as "conservative-leaning".
