Fritz Machlup (*15 de diciembre de 1902 – 30 de enero de 1983) fue un economista austro-estadounidense, notable por ser uno de los primeros de su disciplina en examinar el conocimiento como un recurso.

Biografía

Nació en Wiener Neustadt en 1902. Obtuvo su doctorado en la Universidad de Viena. En 1933 abandonó la Alemania nazi y emigró a los Estados Unidos. En 1940 adquirió la nacionalidad estadounidense. A principios de los 1960s Machlup formó el Grupo Bellagio,^[1] directo predecesor del Grupo de los treinta, al cual se unió en 1979.

Su obra clave es The Production and Distribution of Knowledge in the United States (1962), a través de la cual popularizó el concepto de sociedad de la información. Además, apenas poco antes de su deceso completó Knowledge: Its Creation, Distribution, and Economic Significance, el tercero de una serie de diez volúmenes planeada colectivamente.
