Irma Adelman, Economic Development, Redistributive Effects of Economic PoliciesAbstract
Il paper è un contributo alla serie “Recollections of Eminent Economists” che la Banca Nazionale del Lavoro Quarterly Review e Moneta e Credito pubblicano dal 1979. Irma Adelman è l’unica donna ad aver contribuito finora, in parte a causa della scomparsa prematura di altre eminenti economiste come Joan Robinson. In questo lavoro, Adelman ricorda la sua biografia personale e accademica, che va dall’infanzia in Romania alle esperienze di discriminazione nel mondo accademico americano.
The paper is a contribution to the series "Recollections of Eminent Economists" that the "Banca Nazionale del Lavoro Quarterly Review" and "Moneta e Credito" ran since 1979. Irma Adelman is the only woman economist to have contributed so far, partly due to the untimely passing away of other prominent women economists such as Joan Robinson. In this work, Adelman recalls her personal and academic biography, ranging from childhood in Romania to her experiences of discrimination in US academia.
