Abstract

The career of Ralph George Hawtrey spanned the first three-quarters of this century. He came to public attention in 1897 when his article in the Fortnightly Review attacked British naval procedures and brought his father the congratulations of Gladstone.1 He remained active on the public scene through 1970 when a final letter to The Times criticised the conduct of monetary policy and reiterated arguments from his last book, Incomes and Money, published but three years before. During the many years between, Hawtrey combined the career of a senior civil servant in the Treasury with that of an important theorist in monetary economics.2
