Alternatives

Abstract

Internationally known economist Dr. John Loxley passed away suddenly on July 28, 2020. In this article, we pay tribute to him, a proud heterodox economist and a rare scholar who believed in the importance of sharing his knowledge and talents with people working on the ground to build a more equitable world. John, a faculty member in the University of Manitoba Department of Economics for 43 years, was the recipient of many awards and is known for building a bridge between academia and community.
