PIROU, Gaëtan was born in 1886 in France.
Teacher of economics who introduced much foreign economic thinking to French universities. His works on general economics makes a very precise distinction between descriptive economics, theoretical economics and economic doctrine. The lack of mathematical content in his work rendered it a little behind the trend of the times but his grasp of the history of economics was broad and firm.
Professor University Paris.
