Gardner Ackley (June 30, 1915 – February 12, 1998), also known as H. Gardner Ackley, was an American economist and diplomat. Ackley served as a member of the Council of Economic Advisers under President John F. Kennedy, and as the Chairman under President Lyndon B. Johnson from 1964 to 1968. He also served as Ambassador to Italy from 1968 to 1969.〔U.S. Dept of State, Office of Historian. ("Hugh Gardner Ackley Ambassador Italy" )〕 Ackley was a member of the University of Michigan faculty for 43 years and served as chair of its Economics department. Upon returning to the University following his ambassadorship, he was named the Henry Carter Adams Professor of Political Economy. In 1982 he served as President of the American Economic Association.〔McDowell, Edwin. ("H. Gardner Ackley, 82, Dies; Presidential Economic Adviser" ), The New York Times, February 21, 1998.〕 Ackley was born in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1915, and was raised in Kalamazoo, Michigan where he attended public schools and graduated from Western Michigan University in 1936. He earned a Ph.D from the University of Michigan in 1940, and joined the faculty that year. He served in the U.S. Office of Price Administration and the Office of Strategic Services in Washington, D.C., from 1941 to 1946 and as assistant director of the U.S. Office of Price Stabilization from 1951 to 1952.〔Gardner Ackley Papers 1936–1990. ("Summary Information" ), Bentley Historical Library, University of Michigan.〕〔("H. Gardner Ackley, Obituary" ), The University Record, University of Michigan, February 25, 1998.〕 Ackley believed that government had a definite role in fine tuning the economy, using both fiscal and monetary intervention. He warned President Johnson in 1966 that a tax increase was needed to finance the escalation of the war in Vietnam and the increased social welfare spending that Johnson was undertaking. Johnson did not ask for a tax increase, and economists, including Paul Samuelson, believed this was the cause of the inflation of the 1970s.〔 Ackley was the author of the popular graduate-level textbook ''Macroeconomic Theory'', which was translated into several languages and remained the standard advanced text during the 1960s and early 1970s.〔 ==Selected publications== * "Relative Prices and Aggregate Consumer Demand", with D.B.
