In the history of enterprise, Alexandre Lamfalussy is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Alexandre Lamfalussy as central banker, economist (1929–2015).
Alexandre Lamfalussy was born at Kapuvár in 1929. His recorded nationality is Belgium. He was educated at Nuffield College.
Post-war business was mass-market and increasingly multinational, managed by professionals rather than owners.
He worked as economist, banker and university teacher.
His recorded affiliations include Yale University.
Business reputations are unusually sensitive to the decade in which they were made.
Recognition followed: Commander's Cross of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany, Order of Saint Stephen of Hungary, honorary doctorate from University of Lyon-II (1987) and honorary doctorate from Sciences Po (1992).
That the business was built from Belgium shaped it: capital, regulation and market size differ by country, and they decide what is even attemptable.
Alexandre Lamfalussy died in 2015, aged 86. What remains is the enterprise and its consequences, which is the only durable measure of a commercial life.
