Organisation and Policy

Lord Robbins

Chapter Lecture Five in The Theory of Economic Development in the History of Economic Thought, 1968, pp 95-119 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The last three lectures have considered the conditions of development from a somewhat mechanical point of view. I have been tracing the history of thought concerning the significance for the growth of average income of numbers, of accumulation, and of education and technical knowledge. But this does not in itself provide a history of thought regarding the activating and organising influences in this connection; and it is to this subject that I now turn. I wish to make a broad survey of the history of theories of organisation and policy in regard to economic development. What views have influenced serious speculation on the appropriate pattern of institutions and initiative ? With a subject of this kind you will well understand, I hope, that my treatment must be even more confined to salient features and tendencies than in the three preceding lectures.
