A. Gary Shilling (born May 25, 1937) is an American financial analyst and commentator who appears regularly in publications such as Forbes, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal.

Shilling was awarded a bachelor's degree in physics from Amherst College, and an MA and PhD in economics from Stanford University.

[1] He has worked for Thornhill Securities, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, Merrill Lynch, White Weld & Co., and Standard Oil Co NJ.

In the late 1970s, while most analysts presumed that waxing inflation would go on unabated, Shilling was the first to predict that America's infirm political climate would impede it.

[6] He also foresaw various dangerous economic readjustment problems and a shift in investment strategy from a preference for tangible assets to an increased emphasis on stocks and bonds.
