Why I am an Economist

Richard Layard

Chapter 1 in Tackling Inequality, 1999, pp 1-12 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract I turned to economics because I wanted a framework for thinking about the problems of society. I was already in my early 30s, so it was quite a decision. But I was not disappointed.
