| Born September 26, 1949, in 's Gravenhage, the Netherlands, son of Harm Geert Buiter and Hendrien Buiter van Schooten. | |
| Nationality:
USA and UK. I lost - to my chagrin - the Dutch citizenship of my birth,
because the Dutch
constitution adheres to the common but benighted school of thought
which holds that if you voluntarily take on another nationality, you
are deemed to have given up your Dutch citizenship. |
