- Abstract:
Dr. Holtrop's address on the occasion of the award of the 'Dr. N. G. Pierson medal' to Professor C. Goedhart and to Professor G. A. Kessler answers the question why it is still meaningful to commemorate Dr. N. G. Pierson (1839-1909), the foremost Dutch economist of the 19th century. Pierson was successively a managing director and later governor of the Nederlandsche Bank (1868-1891), a professor of economics(1877-1886),a minister of finance(1891-1894 and 1897-1901) and a prime-minister (1897-1901). A brief outline is given of Pierson's publications in the fields of (1) methodology, (2) the social problem, (3) the international monetary system, and (4) equitable taxation. The address concludes with a quotation from Alfred Marshall's last letter to Pierson. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
