About This Item
W. W. Norton, 1942. First Edition. Very Good to Near Fine condition. No dust jacket.
John Bell Condliffe KCMG (Footscray, Victoria, 23 December 1891 - Walnut Creek, California, 23 December 1981) was a New Zealand economist, university professor and economic consultant. Lauded for the decisive role he played in international NGOs in the Interwar,[1] he was one of New Zealand's best-known international economists.[2]
A professor of economics at the Canterbury University College, he resigned in 1926 to become the first research secretary of the Institute of Pacific Relations, a nascent international organization concerned with the Pacific basin.[1] He took a 2/3 part-time position at the University of Michigan during the academic year 1930-1931, then left the IPR altogether to enter the League of Nations Secretariat, where he wrote the six first World Economic Surveys (1932-1937).[1]
Having left the League to become professor of commerce at the London School of Economics in 1938-1939, he was distinguished in 1939 by the prestigious Howland Memorial Prize and accepted a professorship in economics at the University of California, Berkeley, which he held until retirement in 1953.[1] In the meantime, he returned to the IPR as the chairman of its International Research Committee between 1940 and 1945.[3].
