Arne Benary
Arne Benary (born February 10, 1929 in Greifswald ; † October 10, 1971 ) was a German economist and representative of the New Economic System in the GDR .
Benary studied economics at the University of Leipzig , was senior assistant at the economics faculty from 1954 and followed his teacher Friedrich Behrens to the institute for economics of the German Academy of Sciences in 1955 . The criticism of the bureaucratic centralized management of the economy and the advocacy of a democratic socialist self-government, which was represented in the book "On economic theory and economic policy in the transition period" written by him and Behrens, brought him the reproach of revisionism and a party procedure .
In 1958 he was transferred to the Oberspree cable works , where he worked as a department head for operational organization and later economic director for the implementation of the new economic system of planning and managing the national economy. After the final failure of the economic reform efforts in the GDR, he committed suicide on October 10, 1971.
