Sir Arnold Plant (1898 – 19 April 1978) was a British economist.[2]
Plant was born in Hoxton, London, the son of a municipal librarian.[1] After attending Strand School, he worked for a mechanical engineering organisation. At the advice of William Piercy, he set out to learn about management. He obtained a BCom degree (1922) and a BSc degree in Economics (1923; specialising in modern economic history) from the London School of Economics.[1]
He worked as a professor at the University of Cape Town (1923–1930) and at the London School of Economics (1930–1965).[2] In 1947, he was knighted.[2]
Plant's 1934 paper on patents is considered a classic. [3]
