 Lauchlin Currie / Biography
Currie, Lauchlin (8 Oct. 1902-23 Dec. 1993), economist, was born in the small fishing village of New Dublin, Nova Scotia, Canada, the son of Lauchlin Bernard Currie, who operated a fleet of merchant ships, and Alice Eisenhauer Currie, a schoolteacher.
After Currie's report was published in Washington in September 1950, he was invited by the Colombian government to return to Bogota as adviser to a commission established to implement the report's recommendations.
Currie was also a renowned adviser and writer on urban planning, and he played a major part in the first United Nations Habitat conference in Vancouver in 1976.

 PEN-L message, Tribute to Lauchlin Currie (1902-1993)
Currie moved with Eccles to the Board as assistant director of research and remained until 1939 when Roosevelt appointed him as the first professional economist in the White House as his personal adviser on economic affairs.
Currie's early work in the White House, where he remained until FDR's death in 1945, was an extension of his advice on lending and spending out of recession, but with increasing attention to the defence build-up prior to Pearl Harbour.
Currie's "leading sectors" model of development was conceived as part of an early version of an "endogenous" theory of growth based on the seminal ideas of Allyn Young.

Currie was born in Nova Scotia in 1902.
Currie was enough of a capitalist, however, that he invested his own and his family's money in the stock market, managing to lose most or all of it in the crash of October 1929.
Currie went on a second mission to China in the summer of 1942, this time as the president's personal representative.

Currie and one of the Hiss brothers were at this time, in daily consultation with Harry Dexter White.
White'e known relation with Currie and one of the Hiss brothers at this time is altogether improbable that he would have acted except in collaboration with them, and at their instigation.

He was Lauchlin Currie, President Roosevelt's administrative assistant, sent on a fact-finding trip to China.
Last week Lauchlin Currie, back in Washington, was still at work on his report to President Roosevelt.
Said Currie: "You took my course in banking at Harvard." But what Currie thought of Chinese conditions and possible U. aid was locked up in his head and in the brief case that he always kept at his side.

Lauchlin M. Currie owned the Storm King from as early as 1974 until at least 1977 where it was then homeported in Washington DC.
Whether or not Doctor Currie repaired the damage I cannot say but he did sell it because in 1979 it was still home ported in Washington DC and its owner was a Robert B.
Lauchlin M. Currie is not to be confused with Lauchlin Currie of the Roosevelt Administration.

 SSRN-Post-war Economic Policies for Development: Lauchlin B. Currie and The World Bank in Colombia by Michele Alacevich
This frame is in general lines correct, still it is in part misleading to the extent that it hides perhaps more profound disagreements.
The changing relations between the Bank and the head of its first general survey mission - Lauchlin B. Currie, head of the Colombia mission, 1949 - clearly suggest that inside the Bank the exclusiveness of a directly productive loans strategy was not accepted without any discussion.
In fact, even in the very first 1950s, it was questioned in favour of a broader spectrum of loans - among which for example waterworks and housing loans - which, albeit still sound, had a more visible social side.

 Hawtrey, Harvard, and the Origins of the Chicago Tradition
Milton Friedman has claimed that his monetary economics derives from a Chicago tradition that, in the 1930s, offered a monetary explanation of cyclical fluctuations in general and the Great Depression in particular, an optimistic view of the power of monetary policy, and a case for governing it by rules rather than discretion.
It is argued that all the elements of this tradition except the last are to be found in earlier writings of Ralph Hawtrey, Allyn Young, and Lauchlin Currie and that there is much evidence to point to a direct influence running from Hawtrey, through Harvard, to Chicago.
