This prominent 20 century Austrian-American economist was fond of declaring his immodest aspirations to be “to be the greatest lover in Vienna, the best horseman in Europe, and the greatest economist in the world.” Sometimes he added, “The horses have not been accommodating.” He supervised Paul Samuelson’s PhD thesis but is probably best known for his description of market dynamics as, “a gale of creative destruction.”
