Abba Lerner is recognized among Jewish contributors to Economics & Business — Economist
Abba P. Lerner was a Russian-born British-American economist who developed the theory of 'functional finance,' argued for the microeconomic 'Lerner index' of market power and the Lerner symmetry theorem in trade, and contributed influentially to market-socialist theory and Keynesian macroeconomics. Born into an Ashkenazi Jewish family, he emigrated as a child to London's East End and later to the United States.
