Fritz Adolph Burchardt, 1902- 1958.

German economist of the Kiel School.

Originally from Barenburg, Fritz Adolph Burchardt studied at the University of Kiel, obtaining his doctorate in 1925.  Burchardt remained at Kiel, working with Adolph  Lowe. 

Burchardt's 1928 critique of monetary cycle theory and his 1931 comparison of the Austrian and Marxian schemas of reproduction are important landmarks in the development of the structural theory of growth.

Burchardt submitted his habilitation at Frankfurt in late 1932, but it was too late.  Burchardt was dismissed in 1933, and fleeing the Nazis, making his way to England in 1935.  Burchardt joined the Oxford Institute for Statistics.  As a German national, Burchardt was briefly interned in a British camp for a few months at the outbreak of WWII.  He would go on to adopt the more English-sounding name "Frank" (rather than "Fritz").  He went on to become director of the Oxford Institute in 1948.
