Richard Goodwin

["RICHARD P.F. HOLT" <holtri@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

>From James Galbraith
> I last saw Goodwin here in Austin at a conference on non-linear
> dynamics, maybe four years ago.  I attended his lectures at
> Cambridge in 1974-75, on activity analysis models for the most
> part; they had what amounted to a cult following and generated
> certainly the most remarkable notes I have from any lectures I ever
> attended. The relevant book is "Elementary Economics from the Higher
> Perspective," Cambridge U.P. from the early '70s..
>
> Since leaving Cambridge, perhaps in the early 80s, Goodwin has been
> at Siena, and is, so far as I've heard, still in good form. Before
> coming to Cambridge in the early '50s he was at Harvard; my understanding
> was that he left during the McCarthy period for political reasons. JG.
