| dbo:abstract | Leone Levi (6 June 1821 – 7 May 1888) was an English jurist and statistician. Born to a Jewish family in Ancona, Italy, he worked in commerce there before emigrating to Liverpool in 1844. There he obtained British citizenship and joined the Presbyterian church. At the time, English law regarding the establishment of local chambers of commerce was highly unsystematic and wanting. He therefore advocated their institution in numerous pamphlets, leading to the establishment of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce in 1849, with Levi as its secretary. In 1850 he published his Commercial Law of the World, an exhaustive comparative treatise upon the laws and codes of mercantile countries. Appointed in 1852 to the chair of commercial law at King's College London, he was a popular instructor who innovated evening classes. Levi was called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn in 1859, and a doctorate in political science from the University of Tübingen. His chief work, History of British Commerce and of the Economic Progress of the British Nation, 1763-1870, is considered to be a partisan account of British economic development, but its value as a work of reference cannot be gainsaid. His other works include: Work and Pay; Wages and Earnings of the Working Classes; and International Law, with Materials for a Code. See also The Liquor Trades: A Report to M.T. Bass, M.P., on the Capital Invested and Number of Persons Employed Therein (1871). He died at his home in Highbury on 7 May 1888 and was buried in the eastern side of Highgate Cemetery. (en) Leone Levi, född 6 juni 1821 i Ancona, Italien, död 7 maj 1888 i London, var en brittisk nationalekonom och statistiker. Levi, som hade judiska föräldrar, kom 1844 till Liverpool som köpman, övergick till kristendomen (övertygad presbyterian) och blev 1847 brittisk undersåte. I slutet av 1840-talet uppträdde han som författare, livligt förordande inrättandet av representativa handelskamrar samt permanenta handelsdomstolar med en jurist som ordförande och merkantila fackmän som bisittare. Strax därefter kom också Liverpools handelskammare till stånd, och sedermera bildades dylika institutioner i ett antal brittiska handels- och industristäder. År 1852 blev Levi professor i handelsvetenskap och handelslagstiftning vid King's College London samt 1859 barrister (överrättssakförare) vid Lincoln's Inn. För den brittiska och den internationella handelslagstiftningens utveckling till större likformighet utövade han en betydelsefull verksamhet, särskilt genom arbetet Commercial Law, its Principle and Administration (1852). Hans mest betydande arbete var History of British Commerce, and of the Economic Progress of the British Nation, 1763-1870 (1872; andra upplagan, fullföljd till 1878, 1880). Levi, som med stor energi utvecklade sin frihandelsståndpunkt, utgav ett stort antal andra handelsvetenskapliga, nationalekonomiska och statistiska skrifter. (sv) |
