Dr. Marion King Hubbert (born 1903, died 1989), know as M. King Hubbert, was geologist born in Texas, USA. He attended the University of Chicago where he obtained a degree with triple majors in 1929. He obtained a PhD in 1937. He worked as a teaching assistant at the University of Chicago from 1928 to 1931 then became an instructor at Columbia University, New York, in 1931. He met Howard Scott about this time and became one of the founding members of Technocracy Inc., where he contributed to the more scientific presentation of their technocratic ideas and was on the staff of the Continental Head Quarter (CHQ) of Technocracy Inc.
