Abstract: Abstract At the outset of The Economic Consequences of Democracy Samuel Brittan wrote: The besetting sin of much discussion of current issues is to concentrate on the immediate present. Although there are no easy lessons from history, the past is an invaluable storehouse for enriching understanding. One way of bringing perspective to today’s events is to look back with the wisdom of hindsight.
