Abstract
It is a great pleasure to me to take part in a conference in honour of my old friend Sir Hans Singer. I first met Hans early in 1934 when he was introduced to me by Richard Kahn with an admonition to help him to adjust to life in Cambridge. Two years previously he had embarked on a dissertation on the Kondratieff cycle under Schumpeter in Bonn; but first Schumpter had left to take up an appointment at Harvard and not long afterwards Hitler came to power. Hans abandoned his research and took refuge in Istanbul. There he was offered a scholarship to Cambridge provided by an unknown donor, possibly Keynes, and in due course arrived there, leaving all his books and other belongings behind in Istanbul.
