Chapter 6 in Robertson on Economic Policy, 1992, pp 83-94 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract It is a great honour to speak to this Summer School; and I do so with the humility and respect due from one who lives a rather selfish and sheltered life to those whose work, whether paid or unpaid, brings them into contact with the poverty and distress which is still, though happily on a scale so much diminished within my own lifetime, to be found in this country. I judge that my particular role in your otherwise most attractive programme is the traditional one of the economist — that of the skeleton at the feast. Perhaps that is too gloomy a view; but anyway, what I shall try to do, though I am sure you little need it, is to paint a general picture of the economic framework within which your beneficent activities have to be conducted, and to set out in some sort of order the rival claimants to yourselves on the resources into which you have to dip in order to fulfil your functions.
