Money, L. G. Chiozza 1870-1944

Sir Leo George Chiozza Money (born Leone Giorgio Chiozza, Italian pronunciation: [leˈoːne ˈdʒordʒo ˈkjoddza]; 13 June 1870 – 25 September 1944) was an Italian-born economic theorist who moved to Britain in the 1890s, where he made his name as a politician, journalist and author. In the early years of the 20th century his views attracted the interest of two future Prime Ministers, David Lloyd George and Winston Churchill. After a spell as Lloyd George's parliamentary private secretary, he was a Government minister in the latter stages of the First World War. In later life the police's handling of a case in which he and factory worker Irene Savidge were acquitted of indecent behaviour aroused much political and public interest. A few years later he was convicted of an offence involving another woman.
