Abstract

Not only are economists dismal, they are also introspective. In 1991 the UK’s Royal Economic Society celebrated its centennial by publishing an issue of the Economic Journal containing a series of short reflective papers by leading economists. These sought both to review the current state of economics and to look forward to consider where the subject may go.1 A theme common to many of the contributions was the role of mathematics, and especially mathematical modelling, in economics. No consensus emerged as to how useful it currently is or the extent to which it will play a role in the future development of the subject.2
