Description

“A fascinating, exciting story.”  — Sylvia Nasar, author of A Beautiful Mind While still in his early 20s, and under Hitler's shadow, Leonid “Leo” Hurwicz (1917-2008) left his home in Warsaw, Poland, seeking safety and a degree at the London School of Economics.  The following years, while challenging and potentially life-threatening, contained the seeds of a lifelong intellectual adventure.  Leo's story is personal (born a refugee, precarious war years for himself and his Polish-Jewish family, a new life in America), global (revolutions, wars, depressions), ideological  (socialism, capitalism, economic planning, free markets) and professional (a sixty-year career as a professor of economics leading ultimately to a Nobel Prize).  This book tells his story.

Author Biography:

Washington state-based writer Michael Hurwicz has long been fascinated by his father's journey as a Polish Jew from 1930s Warsaw to America and ultimately a Nobel Prize in Economics.  Michael's book reflects deep archival research as well as conversations with his father, immediate and extended family, friends, students, and colleagues.
