Economic Ideas and Government Policy Summary:
|
This collection, by an economist who participated in many of the events described, sketches the more important economic developments from the end of the Second World War to the early 1980s. In so doing, the work brings together for the first time, a series of papers which were produced by Sir Alec Cairncross during this period. *L The topics covered include: *Economic development in the immediate postwar period,including some long neglected issues,such as the role of economists in the war-time government of Britain; *Sterling crises and devaluation during the 1960s and 1970s; *The wider view and long-term issues involved,including a review of some of the economic ideas that have influenced the British government since the war. The importance of ecomomic history as an intellectual discipline is central and sets the context for the entire book.The work will be a valuable guide for all those seeking to understand the course of economics post-1945. |
