Synopsis

Prof. Antal E. Fekete schreef zijn Magnum Opus in de traditie van de Oostenrijkse Economische School.
Een werk onderverdeeld in vier volumes en meer dan 900 bladzijden. Het eerste volume leest het makkelijkst en, alhoewel van academisch niveau, zou voor Bachelor studenten moeten kunnen. De overige drie volumes zijn eigenlijk een meer uitgewerkte versie van het eerste volume, geschreven in een verhaaltrend. De niet-Engelstalige student zal dan ook op zijn algemene achtergrond en talenkennis moeten rekenen, want er zit een stevige pas in. Nochtans, tegengesteld aan de verwachtingen misschien, gebruikt Prof. Fekete, zelf een wiskundige, geen wiskunde in economie. Dit is en blijft een humane wetenschap die niet met een zondvloed aan wiskunde gediend is. Het enige wat men in de Oostenrijkse economische traditie moet kunnen volgen is financiële algebra (ook wel actuariële wiskunde) op een medium niveau. In dit volume werd ook een essay over fractioneel bankieren opgenomen. En zoals bij elk academisch boek ook een bibliografie (meestal van Engelstalige werken of Duitstalige werken) en een index.
Dit is een leesbaar boek ook voor de liefhebber, met een goede kennis van het engels.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Antal E. Fekete, Professor, Memorial University of Newfoundland, was born in Budapest, Hungary, in 1932. He graduated from the Loránt Eötvös University of Budapest in mathematics in 1955. He left Hungary in the wake of the 1956 anti-Communist uprising that was brutally put down by the occupying Soviet troops. He immigrated to Canada in the following year and was appointed Assistant Professor at the Memorial University of Newfoundland in 1958. In 1993, after 35 years' of service he retired with the rank of Full Professor. During this period he also had tours of duty as visiting professor at Columbia University in the City of New York (1961), Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland (1964), Acadia University, Wolfville, Nova Scotia (1970), Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey (1974). Since 2005 he has been Professor at Large of Intermountain Institute for Science and Applied Mathematics (IISAM), Missoula, Montana. Professor Fekete is an autodidactic expert on monetary economics. During his associations with various universities and institutions he has done research and lectured on economics. On one such occasion, in 1974, he gave a talk on gold in the seminar of Paul Volcker, then Senior Fellow at Princeton University, soon to be named as President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and, later, as Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board. In 1984 Professor Fekete was invited by the American Institute for Economic Research in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, to spend a year there as Visiting Fellow. He served as Editor of the Monograph Series of the Committee for Monetary Research and Education, then headquartered in Greenwich, Connecticut, while contributing several monographs to the Series, reproduced on his website. He also acted as Senior Editor for the American Economic Foundation in Cleveland, Ohio, and produced the popular pamphlet series Ten Pillars of Sound Money, also reproduced in Volume I of this series. When in 1984 South Africa celebrated the 100th anniversary of discovering gold in the Witwatersrand, at the conference Gold 100 commemorating that event in Johannesburg, Professor Fekete delivered the keynote address entitled Gold in the International Monetary System, also reproduced on his website. In 1985 Congressman William E. Dannemeyer of Fullerton, California, invited Professor Fekete to join his staff in Washington, D.C., to work on fiscal and monetary reform. While on this assignment, lasting for five years, he gave numerous lectures on Capitol Hill as well as in California. Ultimately the proposals hammered out in Congressional offices under his chairmanship were taken to the White House by a delegation of ten Republican Congressmen led by Congressman Dannemeyer. According to these proposals the runaway government deficit could be reined in by refinancing the entire U.S. government debt through issuing gold bonds. The historic meeting took place in the Oval Office in October, 1989, and was duly reported by The New York Times. Having listened attentively to the presentation of Mr. Dannemeyer, President George Bush, Sr., instructed his Treasury Secretary, also present at the meeting, to let the Congressional and Treasury staff meet and put forward a joint proposal. This initiative came to nought as the Treasury deliberately derailed negotiations through procrastination.
