Andreas Andreadis

Born in Corfu in 1876 and later active in Athens, Andreas Andreadis was a Greek economist, university teacher, and scholar of Byzantine studies. Sources consistently identify him as a major figure in the development of economic thought in Greece, and he taught at the University of Athens for many years.

He studied law and political science in Paris and also continued his studies in England. His work ranged widely, but he is especially remembered for research in public finance and economic history, including a major history of Greek finances and his History of the Bank of England.

Andreadis died in Athens in 1935. He is often described as one of the founding figures of modern economic scholarship in Greece, combining academic rigor with a broad historical view of institutions and finance.
