He believed in the promethean power of people. He wrote “The Capitalist Manifesto” even though he did not like the title chosen by the editor. Kelso was the American lawyer and investment banker, who revolutionised the classic economic theories, a man who created facts where others just talked about utopias. Kelso’s ideas and especially their implementation even today offer solutions for current societal problems.
President of the Kelso Institute for the Study of Economic Systems, San Francisco. The Kelso Institute maintains the intellectual legacy of Louis O. Kelso (December 4, 1913 – February 17, 1991). It houses his library, which includes not only literature on Louis Kelso’s research areas but also his writings. Louis O. Kelso was a political economist, corporate and financial lawyer, author, lecturer and merchant banker who is chiefly remembered today as the inventor and pioneer of the employee stock ownership plan (ESOP). As prototypes of the leveraged buyout the ESOP and its twin concept the Consumer Stock Ownership Plan (CSOP) enable working people and consumers without savings to buy stock in their employer company or utilities that serve them and pay for it out of the future dividend yield.
The Kelso Institute Europe is designated to become home to the continuation of Louis O Kelso’s and Patricia Hetter Kelso’s mission. Its geographic position between the West and the East is a huge asset for becoming a global centre for new ideas and contributing significantly to the further deepening of the European Union and sustainable development worldwide.
This undertaking is to be sustained in close cooperation with the Kelso Professorship of Comparative Law, East European Business Law and European Legal Policy which Dr. Lowitzsch in 2022 is now conducting in its eleventh academic year at the European University Viadrina. A second complementary resource is the Inter-University Centre (EUROPA-UNIVERSITÄT VIADRINA | FREIE UNIVERSITÄT BERLIN | SVEUČILIŠTE U SPLITU | UNIVERSITÉ PARIS 1 PANTHÉON-SORBONNE) founded in 2000 by Prof. Herwig Roggemann and directed by Dr. Lowitzsch.
