Sally Herbert Frankel (1903โ€“1996) was Professor firstly of Colonial Economic Affairs, and later the Economics of Underdeveloped Countries at Oxford University in the period following the Second World War.[1][2]

Originally from South Africa, of German-Jewish descent, he moved to England shortly after the Second World War.[1] He joined the Mont Pelerin Society in 1950.[1] While not religiously observant, Frankel was committed to the principle of Jewish peoplehood and was a keen Zionist from the First World War onwards.[1]

He was a member of the East Africa Royal Commission (1953โ€“1955).[3]

At Oxford he was associated with institutionally focused critiques of development planning, emphasizing the importance of historical context and stable political and legal frameworks for long-term growth.[4]
