	Any choice of whom to include in biographies is inherently subjective. I tried to make it less so by using two criteria. First, all economists who won the Nobel Prize in economic science up to 1992 are included. The reason is that those who were judged by their peers in Sweden to be worthy of the Nobel Prize should be written up in any encyclopedia of economics. Second, I omitted all economists who were born after 1920 and still alive in June 1992 unless they had won the Nobel Prize. I chose this criterion because there are too many noteworthy younger economists to do them all justice in a book of this length. All biographies are written by me unless otherwise noted.—DRH About the Editor David R. Henderson is the editor of this encyclopedia. He is a research fellow with Stanford University's Hoover Institution and an associate professor of economics at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. He was formerly a senior economist with the President's Council of Economic Advisers.	David R. Henderson See also: Editor's Preface and Acknowledgments
