Family and education
Barro's father is the macroeconomist Robert Barro.[5] He has a bachelor's degree in psychology from Harvard University.[2]
Career
Barro previously worked as a Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research,[6] as a real estate banker for Wells Fargo,[7] as the lead writer for the Ticker, an economics and politics blog hosted by Bloomberg L.P., and as the politics editor at Business Insider.[8]
He appears regularly on Bloomberg Television and appeared on Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO[9] and on All In with Chris Hayes on MSNBC. In early 2013, he was a prominent supporter of a potential trillion dollar coin,[10] but by late 2013, he had changed his mind.[11] Time named Barro's Twitter feed one of "The 140 Best Twitter Feeds of 2013," one of ten in the Politics category.[12] In 2012, Forbes selected him as one of the "30 Under 30" media "brightest stars under the age of 30,"[6] and David Brooks listed him as part of the "vibrant and increasingly influential center-right conversation."[13] A former aide of Barack Obama included Barro on a short list of Obama's favorite columnists.[14] He is currently the host and moderator of KCRW's Left, Right & Center.
Personal life and views
Barro describes himself as Republican but opposes many policies of the current party.[15] He supports elitism, tweeting, "Elites are usually elite for good reason, and tend to have better judgment than the average person."[16]
Barro lives in Queens, New York, is gay, and supports same-sex marriage.[17] He is also an atheist.[18]
