Sir Leo George Chiozza Money (Italian pronunciation: ['kjoddza]; 13 June 1870 – 25 September 1944), born Leone Giorgio Chiozza, was an Italian-born economic theorist who moved to Britain in the 1890s, where he made his name as a politician, journalist and author.
In the early years of the 20th century his views attracted the interest of two future Prime Ministers, David Lloyd George and Winston Churchill.
After a spell as Lloyd George's parliamentary private secretary, he was a Government minister in the latter stages of the First World War.
In later life the police's handling of a case in which he and factory worker Irene Savidge were acquitted of indecent behaviour aroused much political and public interest.
A few years later he was convicted of an offence involving another woman.
