Abstract: Abstract I was in London for five years, first at the LSE and then at the National Institute. There is much to describe. I got to know Harry Johnson, who became my patron-saint, and numerous young economists, some future stars, several of whom played a role in my future life: John Black, Richard Lipsey, Kelvin Lancaster, Tad Rybczynski, Peter Kenen, Richard Cooper, Bob Mundell, Tom Klein, and several others. James Meade was my supervisor; he was impressive in what he had achieved in his work earlier in the British government, and he was extremely polite. For his work, he won the Nobel Prize. My thesis was good training, though (with hindsight) not impressive. But, surprisingly, I had started on my work on the theory of protection, which turned out to be much more significant. I managed to see the Coronation procession and, in 1957, to get married.
