Review of the hardback: 'John Hicks, one of the greatest economists of the twentieth century, had a highly varied set of interests and viewpoints. This collection of essays, written by former students and others close to the corpus of this thought, gives deep insight into the broad theoretical syntheses which have had so much influence, together with the special nuances of Hicks's approaches and interpretations of economic reality. The depth and thoroughness of the writers' approaches lift this volume far above the narrow interpretations of Hicks's work.' Kenneth J. Arrow, Nobel Laureate and Emeritus Professor of Economics, Stanford University
