About the author
Born in Corfu in 1876, he studied law and political science in Paris and continued his studies in England before building an academic career in Greece. He went on to teach at the University of Athens and was later recognized as a member of the Academy of Athens.
His writing ranged across economics, legal studies, and history, but he is especially remembered for work on public finance and banking. Among the books most often associated with him is History of the Bank of England, along with studies of Greek public debt and the history of Greek finances.
He died in Athens in 1935. His work still stands out for connecting Greek economic history with wider European scholarship, making technical subjects feel part of a much larger historical story.
