Abstract: Abstract For the first twenty years or so after the end of the Second World War, Australian academic economics owed an enormous debt to Heinz Arndt for his extraordinary hard work and for the professional example which he set. It is good, therefore, that Helen Hughes has published this record of his account of these years as well as of other parts of his life (to date). Arndt has written a fascinating and most readable tale, not only because he was taught by and has worked with some extremely interesting people — Paul Rosenstein-Rodan, John Hicks, Trevor Swan, the Butlins, for example — but also because his views and judgments, even when or perhaps most when the reader utterly disagrees with them, are always stimulating and challenging.
