John Maurice Clark, 1884-1963

Nascut in Northampton, Massachussets, in noiembrie 1884. A fost fiul unui important economist: John Bates Clark. Dar spre diferenta de acesta, John Maurice Clark este asociat cu curentul institutionalist american.

A facut studii la Universitatea din Amherst, la Columbia University, unde si-a luat doctoratul in 1910, si la Universitatea din Chicago. A fost profesor la universitatile din Colorado, Amherst, Chicago si de-a lungul multor ani, la Columbia University. A fost doctor onorific al diferitelor universitati.

Acest detasat prekeynesist, care s-a centrat pe utilizarea modelelor dinamice, domina diferite materii, cum sunt economia industriala si economia bunastarii si a subliniat importanta aplicarii psihologiei si eticii analizei economice.

Si totusi, John Maurice Clark a trecut in istorie in principal pentru a fi slefuit principiul accelerarii, expus in celebrul sau articol "Business Acceleration and the Law of Demand" (1917), publicat in Journal of Political Economy.

Moare in 1963, la Wesport (Connecticut, EE.UU.)
