内容説明

This is the first of a series of volumes which will collect personal historical documents by economists who have been in the forefront of economic theory and policy formulation in the postwar period. The essays provide an insight into the way top-flight economists view their own and others' contributions to the subject, as well as showing real world influences on their work. Contributions include personal reminiscences and reflections on the state of modern economics and contemporary economic policy by Nobel Laureates Sir John Hicks and Jan Tinbergen, the late Lord Kaldor, former Governor of the Federal Reserve Henry Wallich, George Shackle, Josef Steindl, Richard Goodwin, Robert Triffin, Hyman Minsky, Shigeto Tsuru and Giovanni Demaria.

内容説明

This is the second of a two-volume set of essays by distinguished economists, initiated by the "Banca Nazionale del Lavoro Quarterly Review", in which they offer recollections and reminiscences of their research work. The authors are linked by a common theme - they have all had extensive involvement in government and business. The essays cover a wide range of subjects including the "European" nature of economics during the 1930s, the Viennese intellectual ferment of economic ideas, long-term economic development, applied economics, labour economics, particularly as applied to government and business advising, the training of economists, microeconomics and the economic analysis of government and institutions.
