German born economist and author of Small is Beautiful died in a Swiss hospital at age 66 while visiting Lausanne. He had been in Switzerland since September 2 to address a conference, on his way to Zurich by train when he collapsed. The cause of death was not disclosed.

He influenced U.S. policy figures and was invited to the White House by President Carter earlier this year. He studied at Columbia University and had wartime ties with Lord Beveridge on Britain’s welfare state.
