"H.W. Arndt has been Australia's leading scholar of Asian economic development for over thirty years"--Former World Bank President James D Wolfensohn. The year of Heinz Wolfgang Arndt's birth, 1915, was not a good time for a German boy to be born. His country was soon to be defeated in a great war, his school years were shadowed by the rise of Hitler. Yet when Heinz's long-buried Jewish background led his academic father to lose his chair in chemistry and flee to Oxford, Heinz followed. As Heinz put it, the calamity of Hitler's rise to power led him to 'the incredible good fortune of an Oxford education and a life spent in England and Australia.' This was a man of inexhaustible energy and optimism, who returned from months behind barbed wire interned in Canada to write a historical classic--The Economic Lessons of the Nineteen-Thirties. He seized the opportunity of an unexpected job offer to set off with his young family for Sydney where he quickly established himself as a leading authority on the Australian banking system, embarked on his fifty year career as a gifted university teacher and enjoyed the first of many vigorous forays as a public intellectual. But it was at ANU that Heinz took the bold step which led him to become the Grand Old Man of Asian Economics. In 1966, just after the Sukarno coup and the year of living dangerously, he determined the time had come to study the Indonesian economy. It took all his charm, persistence and formidable intellect to persuade the Indonesians to open their doors to him. The result was a world-leading centre of Indonesian economics which greatly contributed to the development of modern Indonesia.

This book tells the story of four men - L.F.Giblin, J.B. Brigden, D.B.Copland, and Roland Wilson - who, in 1920s Tasmania, formed a personal and intellectual bond that was to prove a pivot of economic thought, policy-making and institution-building in mid-century Australia.

The Economics discipline at the University of Adelaide has a distinguished 100 year history of which the University and the State of South Australia can be proud. Very few other departments, of any discipline in Australian universities, could claim to have a majority of its lecturer appointments rising to full Professor status over a period as long as 1901 to 1995. Nor would many other university departments be able to say they have had five of their graduates win Rhodes Scholarships in the past 12 years.

Jean Monnet est mal connu ! Celui qui est considéré comme le « père de l’Europe », parmi d’autres cependant, ne s’est affirmé sur ce créneau que tardivement, à plus de 60 ans, au moment de la déclaration Schuman du 9 mai 1950. Auparavant, l’homme avait eu plusieurs vies : chargé, à son initiative, d’organiser les comités de ravitaillement de la France et de la Grande-Bretagne durant la Première Guerre mondiale, il devint secrétaire général adjoint de la SDN de 1919 à 1923. Commence alors une étape pendant laquelle il développe son goût pour les affaires financières internationales, objet de ce livre. Banquier d’investissement avec la firme Blair and Co., fondateur d’une banque d’affaires, la Monnet, Murnane and Co., investisseur malheureux dans la Bank of America de Giannini en Californie durant les années de crise, puis chargé en 1932 d’organiser un consortium financier international pour développer la Chine de T. V. Soong, la China Development Finance Corporation (CDFC), en s’appuyant sur des banques américaines et françaises. Jamais il n’aura été autant globe-trotteur, voyageant sur les grands paquebots entre la France, la Grande-Bretagne et les États-Unis, le Canada puis la Chine et le Japon. Point d’Europe unie dans ces activités qui, semble-t-il, l’ont finalement lassé. C’est pourquoi il répond en 1938 à l’appel de Daladier pour acheter des avions américains. Une autre histoire commence alors ; celle du banquier Monnet est terminée. Ce livre présente des textes originaux de chercheurs, Gérard Bossuat, Renaud Boulanger, Pierre de Longuemar, Philippe Mioche, Yuichiro Miyashita, qui éclairent ce moment des activités de Jean Monnet. La difficulté était d’accéder à des sources fiables, dispersées, pour une période moins bien documentée que celles qui suivent. Ils font apparaître la complexité et la richesse relationnelle d’un banquier d’affaires avant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, préoccupé d’affaires internationales, financières certes, mais au plus près des…

La idea de este homenaje fue de Samuel del Villar quien, al trabajar temas de la hacienda pública en México, quedo profundamente impresionado por las aportaciones de don Víctor en esta área. Víctor Urquidi fue el cuarto presidente de El Colegio de México y estuvo al frente de nuestra institución por cuatro periodos que abarcaron de 1966 a 1985.
