George W. Gough

George W. Gough is identified in library and bookseller records as George Woolley Gough (1869–1943). He wrote both fiction and nonfiction, and the surviving catalog records linked to his name show a mix of historical storytelling and popular economics.

His best-known novel is The Yeoman Adventurer, first published in 1916. Other works connected with him include Half-past Twelve, Wealth and Work, Five More Fiscal Fallacies, Fifteen Fiscal Fallacies, and The Economic Consequences of Socialism, which suggest a strong interest in explaining economic ideas to general readers.

Some antiquarian and catalog descriptions also describe him as a historian and economist, and note an Oxford connection. Because detailed biographical information is limited in the sources I could confirm, much of his life remains obscure compared with the books he left behind.
