Walter Edward Williams (* 31. März 1936 in Philadelphia; † 1. Dezember 2020 in Arlington, Virginia) war John M. Olin Distinguished Professor of Economics an der George Mason University, machte seinen Bachelor-Abschluss 1965 in Wirtschaftswissenschaften von der California State University und 1968 einen Master- und 1972 einen PhD-Abschluss in Wirtschaftswissenschaften von der UCLA. Darüber hinaus hat er einen Doctor of Humane Letters von der Virginia Union University und dem Grove City College erhalten.[1][2] Er hat außerdem einen Doktortitel der Rechtswissenschaften des Washington and Jefferson College und einen Doktortitel Honoris Causa en Ciencias Sociales der Universidad Francisco Marroquin in Guatemala, wo er auch Honorarprofessor war.[3]
Er war als Wirtschaftswissenschaftler, Pädagoge, politischer Experte, Radiomoderator und Kolumnist tätig und wurde für seine klassisch-liberalen und libertären Ansichten bekannt.[4][2] Die Washington Post nannte ihn einen Ökonom der freien Marktwirtschaft und regierungskritischen Kommentator.[2] Er selbst sagte über sich in einem Interview mit dem National Review „Ich gehöre keiner Partei an - ich würde mich als liberalen Jeffersonianer oder Madisonianer bezeichnen“.[2]
„His research was rigorous, and he was one of the few economists who know how to engage with the public.
Seine Forschungen waren rigoros, und er war einer der wenigen Wirtschaftswissenschaftler, die es verstanden, mit der Öffentlichkeit in Kontakt zu treten.[5]“
Ein Dokumentarfilm über ihn ist Suffer No Fools, der auf seinem Buch Up from the Projects: An Autobiography basiert. Sein Buch The State Against Blacks (Der Staat gegen die Schwarzen) wurde im Winter 1982 von McGraw-Hill veröffentlicht und zu einer Fernsehdokumentation mit dem Titel Good Intentions verarbeitet.[1]
Leben
Walter E. Williams war 3 Jahre alt als sein Vater die Familie verließ und er und eine Schwester wurden von ihrer Mutter aufgezogen. Nach der High School fuhr er zwei Jahre lang Taxi, dann wurde er zur Armee eingezogen. Nach seiner Entlassung kehrte Williams 1960 nach Los Angeles zurück und heiratete Connie Taylor.[4] Dort besuchte er die California State University, wo er 1965 seinen Bachelor-Abschluss machte. Anschließend begann er ein Studium der Wirtschaftswissenschaften an der University of California in Los Angeles. Er freundete sich mit Thomas Sowell an, mit dem ihn eine lebenslange Freundschaft verband.[2] Williams erwarb 1968 einen Master-Abschluss an der UCLA und promovierte dort 1972.
1980 wechselte Williams zur George Mason University, die als eine Bastion des konservativen Wirtschaftsdenkens bekannt ist. Er hatte auch eine lange Verbindung zum Cato Institute, einer libertären Denkfabrik.[2] Während seiner vier Jahrzehnte an der GMU lebte Williams in einem Vorort von Philadelphia und zog nie dauerhaft in die Region Washington.
Seine zum Zeitpunkt ihres Todes 47-jährige Ehefrau, geborene Connie Taylor, starb im Jahr 2007 oder 2009.[6] Zu den Hinterbliebenen gehören die gemeinsame Tochter Devon/Devyn[6] Williams und ein Enkel.[2]
Williams war Raucher, der keine regulären Fluglinien benutze, da er dort nicht rauchen durfte, und hatte bekanntermaßen eine COPD. Er starb im Alter von 84 Jahren plötzlich, nach einem von ihm gehaltenen Kurs, in seinem Auto auf dem Parkplatz der George Mason University.[2][4]
Wirken
Williams lehrte am Los Angeles City College, der California State University in Los Angeles, der Temple University in Philadelphia und am Grove City College in Grove City, Pennsylvania[1] und verfasste 10 Bücher und über 150 Publikationen. Diese erschienen in wissenschaftlichen Fachzeitschriften wie Economic Inquiry, American Economic Review, Georgia Law Review, Journal of Labor Economics, Social Science Quarterly und dem Cornell Journal of Law and Public Policy sowie in populären Publikationen wie Newsweek, Ideas on Liberty, National Review, Reader’s Digest, Cato Journal und Policy Review. Als Professor an der Temple University in Philadelphia machte er 1975 Schlagzeilen, als er einen offenen Brief veröffentlichte, in dem er andere Fakultätsmitglieder dafür kritisierte, bei der Benotung afroamerikanischer Studenten zu nachsichtig zu sein.[2]
Er hatte zahlreiche Radio- und Fernsehauftritte, darunter in Nightline, Firing Line, Face the Nation, Milton Friedmans Free To Choose, Crossfire, MacNeil/Lehrer, Wall Street Week und war regelmäßiger Kommentator des Nightly Business Report. Er war auch gelegentlicher Ersatzmoderator für die Rush Limbaugh-Show. Darüber hinaus schrieb Williams eine wöchentliche Kolumne, die landesweit syndiziert wurde und in etwa 140 Zeitungen und auf mehreren Websites erschien.[1]
Williams war emeritierter Treuhänder des Grove City College und der Reason Foundation. Er war Direktor der Chase Foundation und von Americans for Prosperity. Außerdem war er Mitglied in zahlreichen Beratungsgremien, darunter: Cato Institute, Landmark Legal Foundation, Institute of Economic Affairs und der Heritage Foundation. Dr. Williams war ausgezeichneter assoziierter Wissenschaftler am Mercatus Center der George Mason University.[3][1]
Auszeichnungen
Williams hat zahlreiche Stipendien und Auszeichnungen erhalten, darunter 2017 den Bradly Prize, der Wissenschaftler und Praktiker ehrt, deren Leistungen die Mission der Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation widerspiegeln, die Prinzipien und Institutionen des amerikanischen Exzeptionalismus wiederherzustellen, zu stärken und zu schützen.[7] Zudem bekam den David Jones Lifetime Achievement Award des Fund for American Studies, den Adam Smith Award der Foundation for Economic Education, den Hoover Institution National Fellow, den Ford Foundation Fellow, die George Washington Medal of Honor der Valley Forge Freedoms Foundation, den Veterans of Foreign Wars U.S. News Media Award, den Adam Smith Award, den California State University Distinguished Alumnus Award, den George Mason University Faculty Member of the Year und den Alpha Kappa Psi Award.[1][3]
