  • Peter Catterall

Abstract

On the 25th anniversary of Economic Affairs this article examines the history of the journal from its founding in 1980 to the present. It presents an account of the key themes that have featured in the journal during that time and argues that its most important contribution has been to explain how markets operate and why well‐meaning government intervention seldom improves upon the imperfect outcomes produced by markets.
