Jacob Hollander

Jacob Harris Hollander, B.A., Ph.D. (1871–1940) was an American economist, born in Baltimore, Maryland. He graduated from Johns Hopkins University in 1891. He was appointed secretary to the Bimetallic Commission of 1897. US President Mckinley named him Treasurer of the island of Puerto Rico in 1900. He also was an official arbitrator in various labour disputes.

His contributions to Ricardo scholarship are considerable. He edited the "Letters of David Ricardo to J. R. McCulloch" (1895) and (together with James Bonar) "Letters to Hutches Trower and others" (1899). He also initiated a famous series of "Reprints of Economic Tracts" in 1903.
