The Argentine in the Twentieth Century

by Maurice Lewandowski, Alberto B. Martínez

About the author

Born in Lyon in 1868, Maurice Lewandowski was a French economist, and Wikisource identifies him as a director of the Comptoir national d'escompte de Paris. He wrote in French and published essays on major economic questions of his time, including American financial power, Germany's postwar position, and international commerce.

His name is also linked to The Argentine in the Twentieth Century, written with Alberto B. Martínez and later circulated in English translation, which helped introduce English-speaking readers to Argentina's development in the early 1900s. Wikisource also lists several of his articles from Revue des Deux Mondes, showing his interest in how money, industry, and politics shaped the modern world.

Late in life, he also published Une énigme de l'histoire: l'auteur inconnu de l'Imitation de Jésus-Christ, a study of the long debate over the authorship of The Imitation of Christ. He died in Lyon in 1940.
