Paul Rosenstein-Rodan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul Rosenstein-Rodan (1902-1985) was a Polish economist, who was trained in the Austrian tradition at Vienna. His early contributions to economics were in pure economic theory - on marginal utility, complementarity, hierarchical structures of wants and the ever-Austrian issue of time.

Rosenstein-Rodan emigrated to Britain in 1930, and taught at UCL and then at LSE until 1947. He then moved to the World Bank, before moving on to MIT, where he was a professor from 1953 to 1968.
