Abstract: Abstract The Economics Tripos at Cambridge celebrated its centenary in 2003 with a number of brief lectures and, as is usual at Oxbridge, with food and drink.† My brief (in two senses) was to discuss some academic highlights of those first 100 years. What follows is a shorter version of my lecture. As background, may I point out that over this period, Cambridge economists made seminal, often classic contributions to welfare economics, employment and monetary theory, the theory of the firm and economic history, including history of economic theory ?
