Opening Speech

Abstract: Abstract The principal difficulty in introducing the economist in whose honour this conference is being held is not in his work, which is well known and; in spite of its depth and originality, quite clear. The real difficulty lies in pronouncing his name. One way of getting around this was hit on by Professor Robert Solow of MIT who, when asked how to say the economist’s name said, ‘That’s simple, it’s pronounced Axel.’ Others have resorted to the English translation of his Swedish family name, calling him Professor Lionhead, which in any case does not sound so different from the original.
