A chapter in Dennis Robertson, 2006, pp 1-4 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The essays in this volume introduce the reader to the life and work of one of Britain’s most distinguished and most interesting economists. Sir Dennis Holme Robertson (1890–1963). A fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, Robertson achieved an international reputation during the inter-war period and by the time of his death had become something of an institution and it seemed, part of the professional firmament. Paul Samuelson, an economist with whom he often crossed swords, wrote in his obituary: ‘Dennis Robertson dead? It is like having one of the fixed stars disappear. To those of my generation Robertson was always there’ (Samuelson, 1963, p. 517).
