Autorenporträt
Richard Henry Tawney was an English economic historian, social critic, and ethical socialist, born on November 30, 1880, in Kolkata, India. He made a significant impact in the early 20th century through his work in various interrelated roles, including as a proponent of adult education and a critic of economic and social systems. Tawney was educated at Rugby School and Balliol College, where he honed his intellectual foundations. A member of the Labour Party, he was also associated with the Christian socialist movement, which emphasized social justice and the moral responsibilities of individuals and society. His writings, particularly in the areas of economic history and social critique, had a lasting influence on political thought, advocating for a more just and equitable society. Tawney married Jeanette Tawney in 1909, and his work contributed to reshaping the conversation around socialism and social reform. He passed away on January 16, 1962, in London, leaving behind a legacy of intellectual thought that continues to be studied and respected today.
