Opis

First published in 1989, The Economic Section 1939-1961 is a rare study of economic policymaking as seen from the inside. It presents a picture of the day-to-day working of the Section, focussing on the more dramatic episodes, when major issues of policy were in dispute or important new issues were posed.
