Abstract: Abstract In his 1955 Presidential address to the Royal Economic Society, Lionel Robbins dealt with ‘the teaching of economics in schools and universities’. After surveying the problem at the secondary level of education, Robbins went on to outline what, in his view, constituted the appropriate degree structure and subject matter for economics — both as a general and a specialised area of instruction and learning — at the undergraduate level. Not surprisingly the honours degree structure and undergraduate curriculum he recommended closely resembled the Oxford PPE approach developed over three decades earlier.
