This is the first biographical treatment of Jan Tinbergen, the first Nobel Prize Winner in Economics. It analyzes his youthful socialist ideals and involvement in Plan-socialism and how it gave rise to his pioneering econometric models and his seminal theory of economic policy. It situates his work within the rise of modern economic expertise.
Jan Tinbergen was the first Nobel Prize winner in Economics and one of the most influential economists of the 20th century. This book argues that his crucial contribution is the theory of economic policy and the legitimation of economic expertise in service of the state. It traces his youthful socialist ideals which found political direction in the Plan-socialist movement of the 1930s for which he developed new economic models to combat the Great Depression. After World War II he was able to synthesize that work into a theory of economic policy which not only provided a lasting framework for economic policy around the world, but also secured a permanent place for economic experts close to government. The book then turns to an examination of his attempt to repeat this achievement in the development projects in the Global South and at the international level for the United Nations.
