International scientific committee on price history
The International scientific committee on price history was created in 1929 by William Beveridge and Edwin Francis Gay thanks to a five-years grant of the Rockefeller Foundation. The national representatives were William Beveridge for Great Britain, Moritz John Elsas for Germany, Edwin Francis Gay for the United States, Earl J. Hamilton for Spain, Henri Hauser for France and Alfred Francis Pribram for Austria; later came also Franciszek Bujak for Poland and Nicolaas Wilhelmus Posthumus for the Netherlands; Arthur H. Cole was in charge of finances for the whole project.Books by the committee
