Abstract: Abstract Over the last two-thirds of the twentieth century, Abram Bergson was a leading American and world economist. He was a creative theorist, both literary and mathematical, making fundamental contributions to welfare economics. Bergson was also a careful statistical empiricist who, from a bully pulpit at Harvard, earned a reputation as the dean of Soviet studies and teacher of that subject’s major scholars.
