“This biography is a most illuminating account of Clark and his work, the man and his times, and provides comprehensive assessment of his many economic contributions. The picture painted is of a most stimulating and heterodox thinker, a man who had no formal training in economics or economic methodology, and a man who revelled being annoying!” (Adrian Darnell, EH Net, eh.net, April, 2022)“This book is a very interesting read and a significant resource for the historian interested in the history of economic thought, Australian economic history and Catholic politics. It offers insights into an academically gifted and productive contributor to Australian and global economics. It is well worth the read and would contribute … the quagmire of academic and bureaucratic politics in London and the Antipodes during the larger part of the twentieth century.” (David Gilchrist, Australian Historical Studies, April 4, 2022)“The work draws upon a wide array of source material from public and private archives, extensive interviews and Clark’s personal papers. The quality of the writing is impressive and while Millmow is generally sympathetic to Clark, the book is not a hagiography. … The Gypsy Economist is an important contribution to the history of economic thought and to the history of ideas in the twentieth century. It is a pleasure to read and is highly recommended.” (Selwyn Cornish, History Australia, March 31, 2022)
