Allyn Abbott Young

Allyn Young's legacy is marked by his influential teaching and mentorship, impacting prominent economists like Frank Knight and Edward Chamberlin. His most notable published work focuses on increasing returns and economic progress. Young gained international recognition as part of the American delegation at the Paris peace negotiations post-WWI. Although his contributions to economics and public service were significant, contemporary interest centers more on his intellectual contributions. At his death, he was developing two treatises on Money and Economics, but neither was recovered after his family left London.
