Abstract
Nicholas Kaldor was born in Budapest. From 1927 to 1947 he studied and taught at the London School of Economics. Then, following two years at the Economic Commission for Europe in Geneva, he moved to Cambridge University, where he became a fellow of King’s College and, in 1966, professor of economics. He was elevated to the peerage in 1974, as Baron Kaldor of Newnham. (For more biographical information, see Kaldor 1960–89, vol. 1, pp. vii–xxxi, and Pasinetti 1979.)
