Anna B. Eckstein was born in Coburg, Germany in 1868, the daughter of a German officer.
Eckstein was a vice-president of the American Peace Society from 1905 to 1911 (she took an active role in the 2nd National Peace Congress, held in Chicago in May 1909).
Eckstein saw as her greatest work the collection of signatures for "The World Petition to Prevent War Between Nations," to be signed by heads of the 44 signatory powers of the Hague Conventions.
A paper delivered by OttoEckstein, professor of Economics and former member of the Council of Economic Advisors, in late January at the Institutional Investor Conference in New York raises the fascinating, if nebulous, possibility that ending the war in Vietnam may make such social capital available.
Eckstein points out first that with the war in Vietnam raging, the non-Vietnam military budget today is, by normal standards, an austerity budget.
At the same time, Eckstein shows, economic growth is being maintained--stimulated in 1968 almost entirely by the private sector.
