Post-war Planning

Lord Robbins

Chapter Chapter IX in Autobiography of an Economist, 1971, pp 186-212 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Our duties in the Cabinet Office were not restricted to the conduct of the war economy; we were considerably involved in the preparation of plans for what should happen when the war came to an end. Many of these were of purely ephemeral interest: perhaps the most conspicuous element here was the universal assumption that whatever else happened, control of labour and the labour market, the one means of making general collectivism effective, must inevitably break down. But there were two areas, one domestic, the other external, where what happened was of much more permanent historical significance.
