Abstract

The passing of Philip Black in Cape Town at home on 19 June 2015 brought to an end the life of an extraordinary polymath. Philip was not only a doyen of South African economics, but also a highly talented musician, as well as a sportsman of note. Quite apart from his prodigious giftedness across such a vista of human endeavour, Philip will be remembered by an astonishingly wide range of people for his generosity, gentility, open-mindedness and sheer zest for life.
