Abstract: Abstract Although Terence Gorman was the greatest Irish economist of the twentieth century, he was totally unknown to the general public. He was the purest of pure theorists, whose life was devoted to scholarship and teaching, and whose work of forbidding technical difficulty was incomprehensible to most of his contemporaries. Yet, paradoxically, he was always concerned with applied issues, and the tools and theorems he developed, notably those dealing with aggregation, separability, duality and hedonic models, have had a lasting influence on empirical work.
