- Title
Memorialising George L. S. Shackle: a centennial tribute.
- Authors
Perlman, Mark
- Abstract
This article literally pays tribute to economist George L. S. Shackle by recalling some of his contributions to economics. A public celebration of anyone's centenary is rare for several reasons. For one, few people have done anything meriting such recognition. For another, most of those whose centenaries people observe have done their major work during the first third of their lives and, by the time of the centenary, generally few colleagues remain who actually remember the person during his/her most creative period. Thus, while the reason for celebrating George Shackle's centenary seems to be too obvious to mention, that there are still so many who knew him personally and were totally charmed by him is quite unusual, and that fact is in and of itself a fine place to start.
