Jack Lessinger

   After World War II and Patton's 11th Armored Division, Lessinger enrolled as a graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley. While pursuing his Ph.D. he began to develop the alternative to mainstream economics he now calls Transformation Economics. In 1964 he joined the faculty at the University of Washington. In 1986, Random House published the first statement of his theory. With his wife of over 60 years, Lessinger lives in the northwest corner of Washington, part of the Responsible Capitalist's region of opportunity he calls Penturbia. A lifelong violinist, at 86, playing chamber music is still his major delight.
