Introduction, William H. Hutt, Economists and the Public

Chapter 16 in Essays in the History of Mainstream Political Economy, 1992, pp 284-289 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract William Harold Hutt (1899–1988) published his Economists and the Public in 1936, the momentous year which also witnessed the publication of John Maynard Keynes’s General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money. Keynes’s great book had an enormous influence on Hutt’s future work, as he became one of its most outspoken critics. But his own book of 1936 slowly gained a reputation of its own among a diverse group of admirers and now exists as a minor classic in economics.
