Coombs the Keynesian

History of Economics Review, 1999, vol. 30, issue 1, 108-125

Abstract: It is a commonplace that Coombs was among the first enthusiastic Australian Keynesians. Groenewegen and McFarlane, in their biographical sketch, call Coombs a leading figure in the implementation of the “Keynesian Revolution” in economic policy’ (Groenewegen and McFarlane, 1990, p. 214). I would not dispute this, but 1 do not find it very helpful either, partly because in none of the thirteen references which Groenewegen and McFarlane make to the ‘Keynesian revolution’ do they tell you what that ‘revolution’ consisted of. To label Coombs a ‘Keynesian’ is only the beginning of an effort to understand him as an intellectual.
