Economist Gardner Ackley Dies; Advised 2 Presidents
1998
Overview
H. Gardner Ackley, 82, one of the nation's foremost economists and a principal adviser on economic policy to Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson, died Feb. 12 in Ann Arbor, Mich. He had Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Ackley, who had a long career at the University of Michigan, where he was chairman of the economics department, was called frequently to Washington to provide economic advice. Early in 1969, during Johnson's last month in office, he named Dr. Ackley the U.S. ambassador to Italy, describing him during the announcement as one of his \"most trusted and closest friends.\" Several months after the Nixon administration took office, Dr. Ackley resigned to return to the University of Michigan, from which he retired in 1984.
