Chapter Chapter 6 in Richard F. Kahn, 2026, pp 237-296 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter examines Kahn’s academic and intellectual activities in Cambridge during the 1950s and 1960s, highlighting his lectures, the Secret Seminar and collaborations with Kaldor and Joan Robinson. It offers a detailed analysis of his final theoretical work (1964–1965), an unfinished application of Keynesian ideas to a multisectoral economy shaped by firm behaviour and monetary policy. The chapter concludes with Kahn’s early contributions to the House of Lords and his role in formulating the Kahn-Berrill memorandum on incomes policy.
