Abstract: Abstract Richard Lipsey has had a wide-ranging career as a researcher, a teacher, a textbook author and participant in matters of economic policy. In all of these, technical facility is used to enhance understanding of economic matters and not for its own sake. His approach is not to simply go with the flow, but to think carefully about the nature and practice of economic enquiry. Lipsey combines a practical focus of investigation with a lifelong concern with methodology. His passionate belief in the importance of economic understanding makes him an engaging and stimulating colleague. In his years at LSE and after, Lipsey created and continues to create a special intellectual environment and to be a part of it is both a pleasure and of great benefit.
