Abstract

Charlatans or Saviours? is the first detailed analysis of professional British economists from Marshall, through Keynes and Meade to the present day. It examines the relationship between professional economists and economic policy in an attempt to answer the question: ‘Can economics and professional economists be blamed for the relative decline of the British economy?’
