Abstract
Charles P. Kindleberger was born in New York City. He received his B.A. at the University of Pennsylvania in 1932 and his Ph.D. at Columbia University in 1937. He had a distinguished career in public service (including the Federal Reserve and the Office of Strategic Services during the Second World War) before going to teach international trade at MIT. His wartime experiences directed his interests towards the interaction of countries and gave him a keen sense of how academic ideas play out among real people and governments. His scholarship was characterized by its realism and willingness to consider actual—as opposed to idealized—behaviour.
