Minimum Labour Standards and Their Enforcement: Special Symposium to Be Published in Economic and Labour Relations Review 2011

Professor Geoffrey Harcourt has been awarded the 2010 Veblen-Commons Award, the highest academic honour given by the Association of Evolutionary Economics. This award is presented annually to a scholar who has substantially advanced an understanding of how economies actually work, in addition to insights that advance economic theory. In his invitation to Professor Harcourt to accept the award, the Association’s President, Professor Bob Prasch, identified himself as one who ‘has for so long been informed, enlightened, and even delighted’ by Professor Harcourt’s work. Speaking on behalf of the Association, Professor Prasch commented: ‘in our mind, Professor Harcourt’s achievements have been monumental’. Professor Harcourt’s career began at the University of Melbourne in 1950, where he gained a Bachelor and Master of Commerce degree, before earning his PhD from Cambridge University. His contributions to Post Keynesian Theory are exemplified by his Cantabrigian two-sector model (1965), his investment model developed with Peter Kenyon (1976), and his book The Structure of PostKeynesian Economics, published by Cambridge University Press in 2006. Professor Harcourt’s emphasis on applying real world economics to deal with real world problems underpins his active support for ELRR as a working member of its editorial committee. The Executive Editors offer hearty congratulations to Professor Harcourt, and thank him for his contribution to the pursuit of the journal’s twin goals of rigour and accessibility.
