Yrjö Jahnsson

{{expand Finnish|date=July 2014|topic=bio}}

Yrjö Jahnsson (1877–1936) was a Finnish economics professor at the University of Helsinki, appointed in 1911. He openly criticized the strict monetary policy of the "orthodox" government and central bank in the early 1930s, and was ideologically aligned with the Fennoman movement. Jahnsson achieved business success and amassed a significant fortune during the 1920s and 1930s. His wife, Hilma Jahnsson (1882-1975), used the wealth to establish the Yrjö Jahnsson Foundation.{{cite web |title=Yrjö Jahnsson Foundation |url=http://www.yjs.fi/index_eng.cfm?rID%3D1%26lgID%3D2%26tID%3D40 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110720195255/http://www.yjs.fi/index_eng.cfm?rID=1&lgID=2&tID=40 |archive-date=July 20, 2011 |access-date=November 30, 2010}} Yrjö Jahnsson Foundation (Accessed Nov 2010)
