1877 1959 Arthur Cecil Economist Tweed
EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph captures the intellectual brilliance and distinguished air of Sir Arthur Cecil Pigou (1877-1959), a renowned British economist of the twentieth century. The image, taken in 1959, shows Pigou in deep thought, clad in a tweed jacket and wearing a jacket and tie. The historical context of the photograph is significant, as it was taken during a pivotal period in Pigou's career, when he was making significant contributions to the field of economics. Born in 1877, Pigou was a leading figure in the neoclassical economics tradition and is best known for his work on the theory of public economics, particularly his seminal book "The Economics of Welfare," published in 1920. In this groundbreaking work, Pigou developed the concept of "externalities," which revolutionized the way economists think about the role of government in markets. Despite his many accomplishments, Pigou remained humble and dedicated to his work. He was a fellow of King's College, Cambridge, and served as the Clarendon Professor of Economic Reform at the University of Oxford. His contributions to economics were recognized with numerous honors, including a knighthood in 1932. This photograph is a testament to Pigou's enduring legacy as a leading economist of his time. It captures the essence of a man deeply engaged in his work, reflecting the intellectual rigor and dedication that defined his career. The tweed jacket and jacket and tie add a touch of elegance and sophistication, further emphasizing Pigou's status as a respected scholar and intellectual leader.
