The Romantic Mountain and the Classic Lake: Alan Coddington’s Keynesian Economics

Stephen F. Frowen

Chapter 10 in Business, Time and Thought, 1988, pp 124-135 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Alan Coddington brought to economic theory an extreme sensitivity to ideas and a rare subtlety of thought; a willingness to examine widely differing and mutually opposing views, but also a capacity for incisive choice among them; a lightness of touch and even a high-spirited enjoyment in the delicate handling of precise but elusive argument. He was exceedingly careful and even fastidious in expression. His cast of mind was ‘classical’ in the general cultural sense, in contrast with the ‘romantic’ urge of some writers on economics. His reasoning was qualitative and a little given to overlook the question of relative force and importance. He would have been an outstanding ornament to the judicial bench.
