Harold Gregg Lewis, 1914-1992.

Chicago labor economist.

Originally from Michigan, H. Gregg Lewis obtained his Ph.D at  Chicago in 1947, and stayed on thereafter.  Affectionately remembered as the administrative angel of Chicago students, H. Gregg Lewis was one of the last of students of Schultz and Douglas. Nonetheless, he was also one of the earliest Chicago "economic imperialists": his 1959 theory of unionism being a remarkable Chicagoesque application of price theory to social organization.

Lewis retired from Chicago in 1975, spending his remaining career at Duke University.
