An Emigrant from a Developing Country: Autobiographical Notes I

Nicholas Georgescu Roegen

Chapter 4 in Recollections of Eminent Economists, 1989, pp 99-127 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract When asked by Paul Schilpp to write his Autobiographisches, Albert Einstein, at sixty-seven, felt as if he were being asked to write his own obituary. One of the numerous things that differentiates me from Einstein is that even at eighty-two I do not feel that these biographical notes represent my auto-obituary. Those who have had as splintered a life as mine are likely to invert the old adage — dum spiro, spero — dum spero, spiro. Only by hoping and hoping could I live through four dictatorships as well as three wars all in my own backyard.
