Peter Thomas Bauer, Baron Bauer (6 November 1915, Budapest – 2 May 2002, London) was a development economist. Bauer is best remembered for his opposition to the widely held notion that the most effective manner to help developing countries advance is through state-controlled foreign aid. == Life == Bauer was born as Péter Tamás Bauer in Budapest, Austria-Hungary, in 1915. He studied Law in Budapest before embarking for England in 1934 to study Economics at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, from which he graduated in 1937. After a brief period in the private sector working for Guthrie & Co., a London-based merchant house that conducted business in the Far East, Bauer spent most of his career at the London School of Economics. Bauer started teaching there in 1960 and retired in 1983 as Emeritus Professor of Economics.〔http://homepage.newschool.edu/~het/profiles/bauer.htm〕 With the support of his friend and admirer Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, he was created a life peer as Baron Bauer, ''of Market Ward in the City of Cambridge'' on 15 February 1983. Lord Bauer was also a fellow of the British Academy and a member of the Mont Pelerin Society, which was founded by his friend Friedrich Hayek. In 1978, Bauer received an Honorary Doctoral Degree at Universidad Francisco Marroquin〔(Honorary Doctoral Degree at Universidad Francisco Marroquín )〕 for his contribution to economy. In 2002 he won the Friedman Prize for Advancing Liberty; as part of his award, The Cato Institute cited his courage in espousing an approach almost universally opposed in post-World War II international economic circles. Bauer told London's Daily Telegraph: "I am truly honored. I have long admired The Cato Institute and Milton Friedman, and recognition by both could not be more delightful."〔http://articles.latimes.com/2002/may/19/local/me-bauer19〕 He died in London, England, on 2 May 2002. 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「Peter Thomas Bauer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
