John Power
Professor, UH-Manoa Economics, 1968 - 1988
After sixteen years with the Department John Power decided to call it quits and in December retired from the University. While with the Department John taught the core graduate macroeconomics courses year after year, served as friend and advisor to many who otherwise might have lost their way and chaired more Ph.D. committees than anyone else on the faculty. Through his many and often cited publications and active participation in conferences and seminars, John greatly enhanced the reputation of both the University and the Department.
John received his Ph.D. from the Stanford University. Prior to joining the UH he was on the faculty of several universities including Stanford, Williams College and the University of Phillippines. As a member of ILO and World Bank mission he had an active hand in economic developments of Kenya, Botswana, Phillippines, and Thailand.
Although retired from the University, John is busy with projects at the East-West Center and the World Bank while continuing to expand and publish his trade and economic growth theories (and to correct any misinterpretations of Keynes that come to his attention). His retirement from teaching will be a brief one. He will be back teaching part time in the Department next year.
