Chapter 1 in The Relevance of Economic Theories, 1980, pp 3-16 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract I was asked to provide a review of worldwide problems related to the evaluation of the relevance of economic theories. The topic1 is a good one, because there is clearly growing doubt among students, lecturers and practitioners alike, in all parts of the world, about the relevance of received doctrines to social problems which are taking new and more severe forms, and increasing impatience with those who remain chained to obsolete models.
