John Hicks
FameRank: 5

"John Richard Hicks" was a British economist and one of the most important and influential economists of the twentieth century. The most familiar of his many contributions in the field of economics were his statement of consumer theory/consumer demand theory in microeconomics, and the IS/LM model (1937), which summarised a Keynesian view of macroeconomics. His book Value and Capital (1939) significantly extended general equilibrium theory/general-equilibrium and value theory. The compensated demand function is named the Hicksian demand function in memory of him.

In 1972 he received the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences (jointly) for his pioneering contributions to general equilibrium theory and welfare economics/welfare theory.

We get so enraptured with technology that we forget what it means. Contact. It does not mean a crime was committed (by Rollins) at all.
