The paper offers a view of Geoff Harcourt’s – b. 1931 in Melbourne; d.
2021 in Sydney – life trajectory as an Australian economist educated and active in the
Cambridge UK tradition. His main contributions – to the Cambridge capital debates,
history of economic thought and post-Keynesian economics – are discussed against
aspects of his biographical background.
