The Kapps' Personal Archive –
A Historiographic Research Project
2023
The Website, which has been funded by the Cambridge Political Economy Society Trust, presents a selection of documents from the personal archive of the German-American economist K. William Kapp and his wife Lore Lili Kapp.
Karl William Kapp (October 27, 1910 – April 10, 1976) was a German-American economist and Professor of Economics at the City University of New York and later the University of Basel. Kapp's main contribution was the development of a theory of social costs that captures urgent socio-ecological problems and proposes preventative and precautionary policies to secure social provisioning for human needs.
Lore L. Kapp (February 6, 1906 – February 5, 1979) has up until now received little to no attention despite her significant contribution as research assistant, collaborator and co-author of multiple books.
This research project and its visual presentation aims to shed a light on Lore through newly discovered materials.
