Minnie Throop England

Minnie Throop England (1875–1941) was an economist and an assistant professor at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln from 1906 to 1921. Prior to World War I, England published many articles related to the field of monetary economics and economic fluctuations, challenging the common stereotype that the focus of early female economists was primarily on gender issues or labor economics.[1] From 1912 to 1915, she presented her analysis of entrepreneurial promotion of new enterprises as the cause of crises in the business cycle in four major articles in the Quarterly Journal of Economics and the Journal of Political Economy.[2] She was an important critic of Irving Fisher's monetary theory of fluctuations.[1]
