Foster and Catchings
Foster and Catchings refers to two American economists of the 1920s, William Trufant Foster and Waddill Catchings, who worked extensively together and hence are often referred to as a pair.[1][2][3] The two met as undergraduate classmates at Harvard University.[4] They were the leading pre-Keynesian economists, in the underconsumptionist tradition, advocating similar issues to John Maynard Keynes such as the paradox of thrift and economic interventionism.
