Lujo[1] Brentano (/brɛnˈtɑːnoʊ/; German: [bʁɛnˈtaːno]; 18 December 1844 – 9 September 1931) was a German economist and social reformer.
- ^ It is often mistakenly claimed that Brentano was called Ludwig Joseph, and that "Lujo" was a kind of nickname or contraction. This is incorrect; while he was given his name after a Ludwig and a Joseph, Lujo was his real and legal first name. (See his autobiography, Mein Leben im Kampf um die soziale Entwicklung Deutschlands, p. 18.)
