Lorie Tarshis, 1911–1993: In Appreciation

Geoffrey Harcourt

Chapter 7 in 50 Years a Keynesian and Other Essays, 2001, pp 114-130 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Lorie Tarshis died in Toronto on 4 October 1993. By his death the profession has lost an eminent member, one who was an independently-minded, enthusiastic, original and lucid Keynesian. Tarshis was reared on the Treatise of Money by Wynne Plumptre at the University of Toronto. He attended the lectures by Keynes in the 1930s at which The General Theory took shape; and in his Cambridge PhD dissertation, Tarshis (1939a), he saw the required connections between the imperfect competition revolution contained in Joan Robinson’s 1933 book and Richard Kahn’s lectures on the economics of the short period (to which he went), on the one hand and the systemic analysis of The General Theory, on the other.
