Albert C. (Albert Conser) Whitaker

Albert C. Whitaker, also known as Albert Conser Whitaker, was an American economist born in 1877 and died in 1965. Records from Project Gutenberg, Wikidata, and library catalogs link him to works including History and Criticism of the Labor Theory of Value in English Political Economy and Foreign Exchange.

Available catalog and archival records also connect him with Stanford University as a professor of economics. His writing focused on economic thought, especially theories of value and the workings of exchange, and it continues to circulate through public-domain and library collections.

Because the readily available sources found here are mostly catalog, archive, and reference records rather than full biographical profiles, only a limited sketch can be confirmed with confidence. Even so, they show a scholar whose work helped document and analyze major debates in economics during the first half of the twentieth century.
