Ferdinand Lundberg

Ferdinand Lundberg (1905-1995) was a 20th century economist and journalist who studied the history of American wealth and power. He was the author of a 1937 biography of William Randolph Hearst entitled "Imperial Hearst" and of an exploration of American wealth entitled "The Rich and the Super-Rich". He co-wrote, with Carol Bram, a strong critique of the US charter called "Cracks in the constitution".

He held several positions in his life time: a journalist with United Press International, the Chicago Daily News, and the New York Herald Tribune (1927-1934); adjunct professor (social philosophy) at New York University (1952-1958); and editor for the Twentieth Century Fund. At the time of his death he lived in Chappaqua, New York. [cite news | title = F.
