“As a former student of, and teaching assistant to, James Tobin, Robert Dimand’s motivation for preparing a monograph on his former dissertation supervisor is self-evident. … The introduction provides a brief biographical overview of Tobin … . The author’s ideas and the content of the book are substantive; and the scholarly and balanced nature of the judgements within each of the chapters is of a high standard.” (Michael McLure, The European Journal of the History of Economic Thought, Vol. 23 (3), January, 2016)
