Herman Finer

Herman Finer (February 24, 1898 in Hertsa, Kingdom of Romania – March 4, 1969 in Chicago, United States) was a Romanian-born British political scientist and Fabian socialist.

His parents were Max Finer (1866/67–1945) and his wife, Fanny Weiner (1872/73–1945). They had immigrated from Romania and earned a living first as market traders and, later, as owners of a drapery shop. He taught for many years at the University of Chicago. He was the eldest brother of Samuel Finer.[1]

gollark: I would quite like to implement this on osmarks.net using an inbrowser Lua VM.
gollark: ```scheme(define (take n xs) (let loop ((n n) (xs xs) (zs (list))) (if (or (zero? n) (null? xs)) (reverse zs) (loop (- n 1) (cdr xs) (cons (car xs) zs)))))(define (zip . xss) (apply map list xss))(define actually-forgiving-grudge (lambda (x y) (let* ( (defection-count (length (filter (lambda (m) (= m 1)) x))) (lookback (+ 1 (inexact->exact (floor (expt 1.8 defection-count))))) (result (if (member '(1 0) (take lookback (zip x y))) 1 0)) ) result)))```if you want to add it to your stuff.
