George Terborgh was an american economist and director of research at the Manufacturers Alliance for Productivity and Innovation (MAPI), which was then known as the Machinery and Allied Products Institute. The organization was formed in the early 1930s to represent the "machinery and allied products industry". While not a lobbying organization, MAPI served as a national voice for policies which stimulated technological advancement and economic growth in manufacturing and in the public interest.
Mr. Terborgh was raised in Ohio and served as a medic in the U.S. Army (1918-1919) before earning an A.B. from Oberlin College in 1922. He later received an A.M. from the University of Chicago in 1925 and a Ph.D. from the Brookings Institute in 1928. [1]
