Abstract: David Gordon, a pioneer of radical political economics and an activist of the U.S. left, died of congestive heart failure on March 16, 1996, at the age of fifty-one. At the time of his death he was Professor of Economics at the New School for Social Research and Director of the Center for Economic Policy Analysis in New York. As economists we will remember best his historically and institutionally based contributions to our understanding of poverty and segmented labor markets and to our analysis of long-run capitalist development. As friends and political associates we will remember his indefatigable commitment to reshaping the economic thinking of the democratic left in an era in which many progressives despaired at the unraveling of the left-Keynesian policy paradigm and the rise of right-wing dogma.
