I hope you all get to hear this short interview. James Galbraith’s comments about Prof. Heilbroner’s richness of vision are marvelous. As Galbraith says, it emerges out of Bob’s love for and deep knowledge of the history of the discipline, combined with his understanding of the economic society’s historical evolution. As his student I would like to pay homage to his ability to pass on the excitement of that vision to generations of students, in addition to their reading of The Worldly Philosophers. Sumitra Shah
