Abstract: It is challenging to provide an encompassing portrait of Mario Nuti's life and works: he was an exceptional man, who made significant intellectual contributions across a wide range of fields, as well as inspiring generations of students, colleagues and the profession in general, for more than fifty years. A brilliant debater and controversialist, he was equally at home in economic theory and in giving policy advice, and over the decades he had made significant contributions to many branches of the discipline. In this memorial article, we try to give a flavour of the man and his work, hopefully reminding the conoscenti of Mario's perceptive and original work, while introducing a new generation of scholars to his distinctive take on the field of economics.

Note: Mario Nuti was a founding member of this journal's International Advisory Board from 2002 until his untimely death in December 2020. In a broader sense, throughout his academic life, he was a friend of Hungary and Poland and a committed supporter of their reforms as well. With this essay, Acta Oeconomica and the East and Central European academic community would like to express their gratitude for his scientific and organizational help. The authors of the present paper were closely associated with Mario Nuti during his research life, as students, collaborators, colleagues and friends. In writing this memorial article, they have benefitted from exchanges with William Bartlett, Renzo Daviddi, Derek Jones, Susan Senior Nello, Jan Svejnar and K. Vela Velupillai.
