Publisher's Synopsis
The innovative economics professor Bernhard Harms established and set on an international stage the renowned Kiel Institute for World Economics. In her biography of this academically entrepreneurial man of action, Lisa Eiling vividly portrays how, alongside financial aid from the armaments industry during the First World War, Harms' imperialist worldview, particular conception of heroic masculinity, and his practice-orientated understanding of research further aided his efforts.
