Abstract
These notes, written in 1965 for Tadeusz Kowalik, provide an apt introduction to this issue of the Cambridge Journal of Economics which is dedicated to the memory of Maurice Dobb, for they reveal the political commitment and humanity of a modest but essentially courageous man. The essays which follow examine a variety of aspects of the wide range of Maurice Dobb's contributions to economic knowledge. All display a spirit of constructive criticism which is appropriate in approaching the work of such a major figure.
