Abstract
The Great Thinkers in Economics Series is designed to illuminate the economics of some of the great historical and contemporary economists by exploring the interaction between their lives and work and the events surrounding them. In the case of Dennis Robertson, we have seen that his life and career and his contribution to economics were determined by the interplay of the elements in his complex personal make-up. On the one hand he was endowed with a superlative intellect which, sharpened and stimulated by his childhood exposure to the precariousness of economic well-being, set him on to find salvation in academic achievement.
