Thank you for sharing this. This is a tremendous loss to our community, as well as each of us individually. He was a good friend and helpful and generous critic. He taught me a great deal. I will miss him greatly—I already do.

What a terribly sad piece of news. John and I were in irregular but more than occasional contact about various matters of academia and scholarship, most recently concerning the very fine tribute he had published in JEI in honour of another departed giant, Marc Tool.
John’s book “The Making of Neoclassical Economics” ought to be core reading on any history of economic thought course. His portrayal of the intellectual struggle against the labour theory of value is as fascinating as it is damning.
I’m sorry not to be able to consult him any longer in person, and suddenly conscious of the weight of responsibility that those of us now in our more mature phases of career and life must carry as we honour John’s and Marc’s respective intellectual legacies.
Thank you, John, for your outstanding contribution to the struggle for a better world.

I am so sad at the passing of John Henry. I would like to echo what Geoff said. John was so supportive of young scholars, always found a way to add humor to a session. He will be sorely missed.

In memoriam John F. Henry (1943-2020)
Dr. John F. Henry Ph.D. died at home with family in Kansas City on September 26, 2020 after a long illness. John spent most of his career as a professor of economics at California State University, Sacramento, beginning in 1970 as an Assistant Professor and retiring as Professor Emeritus 2004. He also spent more than a decade as a valued member of the faculty in the Department of Economics at the University of Missouri – Kansas City (UMKC). John first came to UMKC for the 2001-2002 academic year as a Visiting Professor of Economics and Visiting Fellow of the Center for Full Employment and Price Stability. After retiring from Sacramento State, he moved to UMKC to serve as a Visiting Professor in 2004, a position he held until 2014. After leaving UMKC John continued to teach as a Senior Scholar at the Levy Economics Institute of Bard College.
Born in Red Hill, PA, John earned an A.B. from Muhlenberg College in 1965, and studied economics as a graduate student at McGill University, earning the M.A. degree in 1967 and a Ph.D. in 1974. John’s doctoral dissertation John Bates Clark and the Origins of Neoclassical Economics was completed under the supervision of the eminent Post Keynesian economist Athanasios "Tom" Asimakopulos.
Dr. Henry’s research focused on the history of economic thought, economic history, and political economy. He was the author of two books, The Making of Neoclassical Economics (Unwin Hyman, 1990; repr., Routledge, 2011) and John Bates Clark (Macmillan, 1995). He also published more than 50 articles in academic journals and numerous book chapters.
Dr. Henry won many teaching, research, and service awards during his career, and was the recipient of the 2016 Veblen-Commons Award from the Association for Evolutionary Economics. The Veblen-Commons Award is presented annually by the Association for Evolutionary Economics in recognition of outstanding scholarly contributions to the field of evolutionary institutional economics and is the association’s highest honor. Recipients of this prestigious award include Gardiner Means, Gunnar Myrdal, John Kenneth Galbraith, Robert Heilbroner, and Hyman Minsky. A festschrift in Dr. Henry’s honor, Marx, Veblen, and the Foundations of Heterodox Economics: Essays in Honor of John F. Henry, was published in 2015 (Tae-Hee Jo and Frederic S. Lee editors, Routledge).
Dr. Henry influenced generations of students. Among the undergraduate students he mentored and guided to careers as academic economists were L. Randall Wray and Stephanie (Bell) Kelton. One of his earliest students, while teaching as a graduate student at McGill University, was Mario Seccareccia. John was an enormously popular teacher and advisor at UMKC, and an important member of the Economics faculty at UMKC when the department became internationally known as a center for heterodox economics. Both undergraduate and graduate students eagerly sought-out Dr. Henry’s classes, and he was remarkably generous with his time, often spending hours each day meeting with students. In high demand as an advisor for doctoral students, he served on dozens of dissertation committees at UMKC, and often played a crucial role in patiently guiding students to successful completion of their research.
A passionate advocate for the rights of working people and oppressed people everywhere, he was a fierce critic of the role that economics and economists often play in rationalizing and perpetuating injustice. His loss is deeply felt by his former students, colleagues, friends, and family, but his legacy lives on in those of us whose research, teaching, and understanding of economics continues to be shaped by him.
