Fritz Machlup (; December 15, 1902 – January 30, 1983) was an Austrian-American economist. He was notable for being one of the first economists to examine knowledge as an economic resource. ==Early life and career== He was born in Wiener-Neustadt, Austria, near Vienna; his father was a businessman who owned two factories that manufactured cardboard. 〔 Gottfried Haberler. "Fritz Machlup In Memoriam." Cato Journal, vol. 3, #1, 1983, p. 11. () 〕 Machlup earned his doctorate at the University of Vienna. He fled Nazi Germany for the United States in 1933 and became a US citizen in 1940. Machlup's key work was ''The Production and Distribution of Knowledge in the United States'' (1962), which is credited with popularizing the concept of the information society. He was president of the International Economic Association from 1971–1974. Shortly before his death he completed the third in a series of ten planned volumes collectively called ''Knowledge: Its Creation, Distribution, and Economic Significance''. Machlup is also credited with forming the Bellagio Group in the early 1960s. This group was the direct predecessor of the influential Washington-based financial advisory body, the Group of Thirty, which he joined in 1979. 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「Fritz Machlup」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
