Mike Intriligator

Michael was an exceptional colleague and an extraordinary friend. I witnessed Mike's transformation from a vigorous economist to becoming a heart-warming spokesperson for peace and peace-making, an area that is not an ordinary path for economists these days. I was invigorated, and gained more optimism, just by his reassuring presence at the various meetings of Economists for Peace and Security, a presence that provided a foundation peace studies and peace making. Last time we met was in one...

The LA obituary is right on the mark. For me, Mike was a role model as colleague, scholar, teacher, mentor, and - most of all - as a person. And, yes, I am a recipient of one of Mike's classical music audiotapes. A life well-lived, Mike. Let the living emulate you forever more.

Mike made great contributions to and through ECAAR and then Economists for Peace and Security. We got to know each other in Moscow when the Berlin Wall came down and we were at a conference to help the Soviet Union figure out how to demilitarize. Deepest sympathy to his family.

Mike was a wonderful person--brilliant, humane, generous, cultured, curious, and kind. A great loss to the economics profession and to Economists for Peace Security, which he guided with wisdom, and supported by deploying his own peaceful weapons: his vast network of colleagues, editors, publishers, former students, and other friends and admirers. Even after I left EPS I could always write Mike to ask for advice and he would respond thoughtfully and immediately. I will miss him very much.

I was a student of Prof. Intriligator in the early 70s.
I experienced the awe for his brilliance matched only by his being willing and available to be helpful to students.
Being a foreign student I especially appreciated this.
