Edwin Walter Kemmerer (June 29, 1875, Scranton, Penn. – December 16, 1945 Princeton, N.J.) American economist, became famous as a "money doctor" or economic adviser to foreign governments all around the world, promoting plans based on strong currencies and balanced budgets. He graduated with honors and a Phi Beta Kappa key from Wesleyan University, and earned his Ph.D. from Cornell, then, at 28, was appointed Financial Adviser to the U.S. Philippine Commission. In 1912 he became a professor in Princeton, where he was made the first director of its new International Finance Section; by then Kemmerer had a well established reputation as an international 'money doctor'.〔"Edwin Walter Kemmerer" ''The American Economic Review'' 36.1 (Mar., 1946): 219〕 =="Money doctors"== All of the plans created by economic advisors like Kemmerer were aimed "towards the establishment of an internationally interconnected monetary and credit system based on stable national currencies in fixed value relationship with gold and other gold currencies."〔Nötel, R. "International Credit and Finance" ''The Economic History of Eastern Europe 1919–1975'' Ed. M.C. Kaser and E.A. Radice. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1986.〕 Consequently the plans required among other things, central bank independence, the payment of all debts and balanced state budgets. R. Nötel, in his essay on the International Credit and Finance of Eastern Europe, complains that the advice of these "money doctors" was "sometimes discordant", adding that their plans were written not only to have the debtors comply with the rules of the international financial system, but also to obtain the approval of much needed loans.〔 As a "money doctor" Kemmerer was not alone: in Poland he was followed by Charles Dewey; Romania had the Frenchmen Charles Rist and Roger Auboin; and for Hungary and Germany, the Americans Jeremiah Smith Jr and S. Parker Gilbert, respectively.〔〔Adams, Mildred. "Sick Nations Take the American Cure" ''New York Times'' 9 Dec. 1928: SM3.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Edwin W.
