Abstract

Meade was a political economist, following in the footsteps of Smith and Marshall, who wanted to do good. Always meticulous in his scientific standards, he was a socially committed persuader as well. His goal was agathotopia, ‘a good place to live in’. Wishing to bring about social change, he ranged widely over a number of policy issues. The coverage makes it difficult for some readers to grasp the links between his pure, often abstract, economics, and the political balance which he most wanted to sway. Polite and self-effacing, he believed that public opinion was on his side.
