Eloge: Will Lissner, 1908-2000 - Obituary

American Journal of Economics and Sociology, The, April, 2000

Our Founding Editor died on Saturday night, March 25th, after a long bout with double pneumonia and a long lifetime of interest in ideas, world politics, and social science. Will started this American Journal of Economics and Sociology in 1941 while he worked full-time as a New York Times reporter.

His interest in the journal never waned and he shared information and offered kind advice to its current editor as recently as December 14, 1999. He was a great editor who labored zealously on behalf of the AJES. His contributions will be remembered in subsequent numbers of this journal, as they were in the obituary that appeared in the New York Times on March 29, 2000 subtitled "Times Reporter Who Specialized in Economics."
