I loved his sense of humor and how his brain worked.

I disagree with lots of what Seamus wrote, but recognised him as a brilliant thinker and he made an important contribution to public debate.

We met for coffee when I was passing though Wellington just 10 days before his death.

I had just met Seamus, but was already in awe of his teaching style and approach to economics, especially the weaving of Shakespeare with economics. I was meant to have a meeting with him this week to put the world to rights on the microeconomics of unpaid care.Samnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830084253401570472.post-31566393914613808222015-07-19T11:42:08.412+12:002015-07-19T11:42:08.412+12:00I am so terribly sad to hear this.

You're absolutely right about his micro and welfare courses, Eric; easily two of the best courses I took at uni. And I know I and many other students valued his advice highly.<br /><br />My sincere sympathies to his family, and to everyone in the economics community.
