The Good Fight

Abstract

This paper is concerned with aspects of policy‐making which tend to impede economic efficiency, and with steps which might enhance such efficiency. Various problems and impediments are discussed first. The paper then looks at the roles of advisers and ministers. It concludes with a somewhat speculative look at ways in which opinion, advice and policies might change.
