Arnold Toynbee, 1852-1883.
English economic historian (not to be confused with his famous nephew, Arnold J. Toynbee.)
Arnold Toynbee was an English economic historian at Balliol College, Oxford. Toynbee was famously among the first to identify and describe the British "industrial revolution" as an event. His analysis of monopolies and oligopolies was prescient. Toynbee was a thorough historicist and adhered to the inductive method. A social activist and humanitarian, he was also an opponent of laissez-faire economic policy.
Toynbee died at the tragically young age of 30.
