Alexander Nove, FRSE, FBA (born Aleksandr Yakovlevich Novakovsky; Russian: Алекса́ндр Я́ковлевич Новако́вский;[1] also published under Alec Nove; 24 November 1915 – 15 May 1994) was a Professor of Economics at the University of Glasgow and a noted authority on Russian and Sovieteconomic history. According to Ian D. Thatcher, "[T]he consensus is that he was one of the most significant scholars of 'Soviet' studies in its widest sense and beyond."[2]
Alexander Nove was born in Saint Petersburg, Russia, the son of Jacob Novakovsky. His father was a Menshevik who emigrated with his family in 1924 to Britain.[3] He was educated at King Alfred School in London and received a BSc in economics from the London School of Economics in 1936. The school later made him an Honorary Fellow in 1982.
Nove served in the Royal Signal Corps from 1939 but was transferred to Military Intelligence until 1946, reaching the rank of Major. From 1947 to 1958, he worked in Civil Service, mainly the Board of Trade. He was a Reader in Russian Social and Economic Studies at the University of London from 1958 to 1963 and Professor of Economics at the University of Glasgow from 1963 to 1982. He was then Emeritus Professor and Honorary Senior Research Fellow at Glasgow until his death.
In 1951, Nove married Irene MacPherson, his second marriage. They had three sons: Perry and David, from his first marriage. Together, they had Charles Nove (born 1960), a broadcaster. Nove died in Voss, Norway, on 15 May 1994.
