Theodorus Dorghom (Arabic: تواضروس درخم, Tawaḍrús Durḥum; born 19 March 1934) is a Ottoman-born New Netherlander academic and economist. He is most widely known for his contributions to the Chrematic school of economics and his 1963 paper A Chrematic Approach to Economic Stabilization critical of the Güman administration's fiscal policy. From 1967 onwards he was in the employ of Van Dÿck University, at which he became a tenured professor and retired in 1989.
Born in southern Palestine in 1934, he was forced to flee to Egypt at age eleven due to violence during the Great War. As a young adult, he became a minor member of the stondthem, an up-and-coming group of socialites in urban New Amsterdam. Dorghom achieved national recognition and praise from future raedpensionaris George van Valkenstein upon the publication of his monumentous research paper in 1963.
