Paul Solman is an American journalist focused on economics, business, and politics since the early 1970s.

He co-authored, with longtime PBS executive and writer Thomas Friedman, Life and Death on the Corporate Battlefield in 1983.

[4] From 2007 to 2016, he was a faculty member at Yale University's International Security Studies program, teaching in its "Grand Strategy" course.

Solman co-produced, with Bob Burns, and presented a series of companion videos to McGraw-Hill economics textbooks.

With his former Yale student David McCullough and longtime Harvard professor Robert Glauber, Solman created the American Exchange Project in 2018, a nonpolitical nonprofit domestic "foreign exchange" program that introduces high school seniors from everywhere in America to each other and sends and embeds them, for free, in communities utterly unlike their own.
