Abstract: Abstract As with so many lives, Kaldor’s was turned around by the war. This was not the result of enemy action, and he himself was not called to arms. While he had become a British citizen in 1934, and made enquiries about joining the Civil Service as an economic adviser, Kaldor was told that his Hungarian origins would disqualify him from anything other than menial duties in Whitehall. He therefore decided to stay in academia, and relocated to Cambridge with his remaining LSE colleagues in September 1939, when the Ministry of Works took over the School’s Aldwych site in central London.1
