About the author
Born in Verőce on June 2, 1882, and later dying in Budapest on July 19, 1950, he is described in Hungarian reference sources as an economist and social writer.
After studying law in Budapest, he worked as secretary of the National Association of Industrialists from 1908 to 1912. He then spent decades with the Szeged Chamber of Commerce and Industry, serving first as secretary and later as chief secretary, which gave him a close view of Hungarian economic life.
That professional background fed into his writing. Sources also note memoir-style work, including Önéletrajzom (“My Autobiography”), and portray him as a writer whose interests reached beyond economics into social questions as well.
