John Forrest Henry (April 17, 1943 – September 26, 2020) was an American economist who contributed to heterodox economics in the traditions of Marxian, post-Keynesian, and original institutional economics.[1]
Biography[edit]
Henry attended Muhlenberg College, a liberal arts college, in Allentown, PA and earned a BA degree in economics (1965). He continued his study of economics at McGill University in Montreal, Canada and earned M.A. (1967) and Ph.D. (1974) degrees in 1967 and 1974. His doctoral dissertation was on "John Bates Clark and the Origins of Neoclassical Economics" supervised by Athanasios Asimakopulos who was one of early Post Keynesians.
Henry taught at the California State University–Sacramento (1970–2004), University of Missouri–Kansas City (2001-2014), and Levy Economics Institute of Bard College (2015–2020). His research focused on the social-institutional foundations of capitalism and pressing socio-economic problems such as poverty, racism, unemployment, and instability. Henry received the Veblen-Commons Award in 2017 from the Association for Evolutionary Economics, the highest scholarly honor recognized by the international organization of original institutional economists. He was the president of the Association for Institutional Thought (2007). He is the author of two books, The Making of Neoclassical Economics (1990, Unwin Hyman) and John Bates Clark (1995, Macmillan), and many scholarly articles.[2]
