Blaug Edited
[1988 HES Distinguished Fellow citation for Mark Blaug. Published in the History of Economics Society Bulletin, vol. 10, no. 2 (October 1988), pp. iv-v.] Award of Distinguished Fellow to Mark Blaug, June 20, 1988 Dr. Blaug was introduced by Donald A. Walker as follows: Dr. Mark Blaug was born in the Netherlands in 1927, but migrated to England in 1940. He was evacuated to the United States in 1942, where he attended high school and Queen's College. He obtained an M.A. in 1952 and a Ph.D. in economics in 1955 at Columbia University, where George Stigler and T.W. Hutchison were his dissertation advisors. He worked as a statistician for the US Department of Labour and then began teaching at Yale University as an Assistant Professor of Economics, where he remained until 1962. At that time William Fellner was teaching the graduate course in the history of economic thought, but wanted to undertake other duties. He selected Dr. Blaug, who was then 27 years old, to be his replacement in that course. That was a wonderful opportunity for Dr. Blaug and one which had a permanent result, because the lecture notes that he developed over the four years in which he taught the course became the basis of his Economic Theory in Retrospect. He was visiting Professor in the History of Economic Thought at the University of Manchester, 1960-61, visiting Professor in the Economics of Education at the University of Chicago, 1965-66, and Professor of the Economics of Education at the University of London Institute of Education, 1969-84. -
MARK BLAUG Mark Blaug 1927–2011
MARK BLAUG Mark Blaug 1927–2011 MARK BLAUG was born at The Hague, on 3 April 1927, into a Jewish family. His father, Bernard Blaug, had moved across Europe from the Chassidic-dominated Pale of Settlement in Eastern Europe. His mother was Sarah (née Toeman), a UK citizen whose family had settled in London. Blaug himself rejected Judaism by the age of twelve, was agnos- tic by the age of fifteen and, he records, a militant atheist from the age of seventeen, a position to which he adhered thereafter. His father was a successful businessman who, by the mid-1930s, had become a millionaire.1 But in 1940, as the Germans were poised to invade Holland, the Blaug family fled, and the business was left in Gentile management, from which it was not recovered after the war. Blaug himself was taken first to England, where he and his elder brother were sent to boarding school, first to a Jewish school near Brighton and then to one at Amersham, an experience which left him with a lifelong loathing of British boarding schools cut off from normal society. (In between the boarding school epi- sodes he attended St John’s Wood Grammar School.) But within a year the boys rejoined their parents, who by that time had reached the United States,2 and he later attended the Peter Stuyvesant High School in New 1 Mark Blaug published an illuminating autobiographical account three times. Mark Blaug, ‘Not only an economist—autobiographical reflections of a historian of economic thought’ appeared in The American Economist, 38 (1994), 12–27; in Mark Blaug, Not Only an Economist (Cheltenham, 1997), pp. -
