Biographical History
Sir Arnold Plant studied at the London School of Economics, and assumed the Cassel Chair of Commerce there in 1930. Plant was a highly influential teacher, and a leading figure in military-industrial planning in Britain and America during World War II. He initiated a plan to allocate controlled materials for military production in England, and then played a major role in creating such a plan for American military production as well. After the war, he returned to the London School of Economics, where he and other free-market thinkers opposed the expansion of socialism in Great Britain.
