 Biographical Note

Randall Hinshaw was a graduate of Occidental College (B.A., 1937; M.A., 1938) and of Princeton University (Ph.D., 1944). After working for the Federal Reserve, NATO, and as a lecturer at a variety of universities in the 1940s and 1950s, Hinshaw joined the faculty of Claremont Graduate School in 1960 as a professor of economics. His specialization was monetary theory, and he authored numerous books on the subject, including Monetary Reform and the Price of Gold (1964), The European Community and American Trade: A Study In Atlantic Economics and Policy (1964), The Unstable Dollar: Domestic and International Issues (1988). He also edited compilations, such as The Economics of International Adjustment (1971). In addition to his teaching and research, Hinshaw founded and was the director of the Bologna-Claremont series of biennial international monetary conferences, beginning in 1967. He organized several conferences through the 1990s, many of which are represented in this collection through correspondence and recordings. These conferences frequently attracted internationally acclaimed economic theorists, including Nobel Prize winners.
