Merrill Mason Gaffney (October 18, 1923 – July 16, 2020[1]) was an American economist and a major critic of Neoclassical economics from a Georgist point of view.[2] Gaffney first read Henry George's masterwork Progress and Poverty as a high school junior.[3] This interest led him to Harvard University in 1941 but, unimpressed with their approach to economics he left in 1942 to join the war effort. After serving in the southwest Pacific during World War II he earned his B.A. in 1948 from Reed College in Portland, Oregon.[4] In 1956 he gained a Ph.D. in economics at the University of California, Berkeley.[5] There he addressed his teachers' skepticism about Georgism with a dissertation titled "Land Speculation as an Obstacle to Ideal Allocation of Land." Gaffney was Professor of Economics at the University of California, Riverside from 1976 onwards.[6] He died in July 2020 at the age of 96.[7]
