Summary/Abstract: Ervin Hexner (1893–1968), a native of Liptov, senior lecturer at Comenius University in Bratislava, lawyer and economist, occupies the centre of attention in this text. He applied himself not only in the academic world as an expert on cartels, but also in financial and economic practice, both in Czechoslovakia and at universities in the USA after he emigrated in 1939. He also actively participated in the Bretton Woods Conference, where he still represented Czechoslovakia, and he held important positions in the International Monetary Fund. His extensive publishing activities reacted to economic processes in Slovakia, Czechoslovakia, Europe and the world. He undoubtedly was and still is the most translated and studied economist from Slovakia.
