Abstract
Giblin was not just a good economist, he was a great economist. It would be presumptuous to state definitively what part of modern economic policy discussion he would regard as bathwater, but we can be sure that he would be extremely concerned to separate the baby from the bathwater, lest the bathwater stop the valid insights of economics being used in formulating policy to improve the welfare of ordinary Australians. While I never met Giblin, I was taught at the University of Western Australia by a person who had been his colleague in Melbourne University and by another who had known him in Tasmania. I learnt enough about him second hand to be filled with admiration for him, as a person as well as an economist. He was a truly remarkable man, with a deep concern for his fellow men and women.
