He was the co-founder and co-editor of The Journal of Post Keynesian Economics in 1978. His views included criticism of monetarism and the neoclassical synthesis, and promotion of the tax-based incomes policy (TIP).
Born on April 28, 1914 in New York City, Weintraub studied for one year at the London School of Economics (1938-1939) and received his Ph.D. from New York University in 1941. He then worked at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York until 1943, when he was drafted into the U.S. Army. In 1945 he joined the faculty of St. John’s University in Brooklyn, New York. In 1950 he joined the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania, and in 1957 he was awarded a Ford Foundation fellowship to travel to Europe. He taught at the University of Waterloo from 1969-1970, and from 1972-1973 he wrote a weekly column for the Philadelphia Bulletin.
During his expansive career, Weintraub gave over 500 guest lectures in the U.S., Canada, and Europe, and published 18 books, over 80 scholarly articles, and more than 50 popular articles.
He married Sheila Tarlow in August 1940, and he is the father of mathematical economist E. Roy Weintraub.
Sidney Weintraub died in Philadelphia on June 19, 1983, aged 69.voir moins
