CITY AND SCHOOL
Cambridge, Massachusetts, is a suburb of Boston and known for Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Thinkers of the Austrian School worked here too after their emigration to the United States.
Joseph Schumpeter moved to Harvard University in 1932. As he had earlier in Bonn, he was able to gather around him an illustrious circle of enthusiastic postgraduate students and young researchers, among them the later Nobel laureates Paul A. Samuelson, Wassily Leontief and James Tobin, but also socialists such as Oskar Lange, Paul Sweezy and Richard M. Goodwin. Schumpeter thus contributed substantially to the “golden age of economics” at Harvard. Gottfried Haberler and Fritz Machlup, both trained in Vienna, also belonged to this circle. After several guest lectures, Haberler held a professorship at Harvard University from 1936. Machlup taught there as a visiting professor from 1934 to 1935.
