About Fred Bateman

Lived 1937 – 2012 (aged 74–75). Fred Bateman was an American economic historian.

James Fred Bateman, Jr. (1937 – January 10, 2012) was a noted economic historian. He served as the Nicholas A. Beadles Professor in the Terry College of Business at the University of Georgia. Bateman's main areas of research were US 19th century agricultural and industrial economic history. Bateman's teaching style was informal. However, while at Indiana University, Bateman alienated some students with his acerbic attempts at classroom humor. He served from 1982–83 as president of the Business History Conference and in 2010 he was elected as a Fellow of the Cliometric Society.
