He was, however, originally known for creating The ''est'' Training〔 (1971–1983) and The Forum (1984–1991), which were offered to the public through the companies Erhard Seminars Training Inc. (1971–1975); est, an educational corporation (1975–1981), and Werner Erhard & Associates (WEA, 1981–1991). In 1977 Erhard, along with the support of John Denver, Robert W. Fuller, and others, founded The Hunger Project (a United Nations NGO)〔"The Hunger Project". ''CSO-Net''. Economic and Social Council. Retrieved 30 Nov. 2015.〕 in which more than 4 million people participate.〔"The Hunger Project 2014 Annual Report". ''The Hunger Project.'' The Hunger Project''. Interview with Catherine Parrish About The Hunger Project". Ideas in Conversation.'' Werner Erhard Video. Retrieved 30 Nov. 2015. 〕 In 1991, Erhard retired from business and sold his then-existing intellectual property to a group of his former employees who formed Landmark Education, now known as Landmark Worldwide. He has no ownership or management position in Landmark Worldwide, but at Landmark's request consults with them from time to time. Much of his scholarly writing can be found on his author’s page in the Social Science Research Network (SSRN), and most recently at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER),〔 the European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI), and The Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance and Financial Regulation. ==Early life== John Paul Rosenberg was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on September 5, 1935.〔〔Steven M. Tipton: Getting saved from the sixties: moral meaning in conversion and cultural change. Berkeley, California: University of California Press, 1982, page 176.〕 His father was a small restaurant owner who left Judaism for a Baptist mission before joining his wife in the Episcopal Church〔〔 where she taught Sunday School.〔 They agreed that their son should choose his religion for himself when he was old enough.〔 He chose to be baptized in the Episcopal Church, served there for eight years as an acolyte〔 and has been an Episcopalian ever since. Erhard attended Norristown High School, Norristown, Pennsylvania, where he was awarded the English award in his senior year.〔 He graduated in June 1953, along with his future wife Patricia Fry.〔 From the early mid-1950s until sometime in 1960 Erhard worked in various automobile dealerships (starting with a Ford dealership where he was trained by Lee Iacocca, and then Lincoln Mercury, and finally Chevrolet), with a stint out when he was given the opportunity to manage a nearly defunct medium-duty industrial equipment firm which became successful under his management.〔Bartley, William Warren III (1978).

ISBN 0-553-38497-X〕 Rosenberg married Patricia Fry on September 26, 1953 and they had four children together.〔 In 1960, he abandoned Patricia and their children in Philadelphia, traveled to Indianapolis with June Bryde〔 and changed his name to Werner Hans Erhard. Rosenberg chose his new name from ''Esquire'' magazine articles he read about then West German economics minister Ludwig Erhard and the physicist Werner Heisenberg. June Bryde changed her name to Ellen Virginia Erhard. The renamed Erhards moved to St. Louis, where Erhard took a job as a car salesman.〔 His wife Patricia Rosenberg and four children were forced to rely on welfare and help from family and friends, and after five years without contact, Patricia Rosenberg divorced Erhard for desertion and remarried.〔 In October 1972 Erhard contacted his first wife and the children he had left behind; both his ex-wife Pat and his own younger siblings subsequently took jobs in the est organization.〔 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「Werner Erhard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
