From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Landes (born New York 1924) is a professor emeritus of economics at Harvard University and retired professor of history at George Washington University. He is the author of Revolution in Time, The Unbound Prometheus, The Wealth and Poverty of Nations and Dynasties. Such works have received both praise for detailed retelling of economic history, all well as scorn on charges of blatant Eurocentrism, a charge he does not deny. Landes earned a Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1953 and an A.B. from City College of New York in 1942.
