dc.description.abstract | The outbreak of war has produced, among its consequences, a complete
change in the type of economic problems confronting statesmen and their
economic advisers. Many of the problems which engaged the attention
of economists during the last war and many novel ones arising out of
the peculiar circumstances of total warfare have come to the foreground,
and it is inevitable that in the course of their solution, or of their nonsolution,
as the case may be, many developments in the realm of economic
theory will take place. Economic theory has developed to a large
extent side by side with practical problems. It has been in analysing
the issues underlying a concrete situation that the theoretical issues
involved have clearly emerged. Professor Cannan stated that "when
economic questions get into politics, though they are often somewhat
roughly handled, they are really thought about." After an abrupt
change of interest such as that caused by the war, it may prove useful
to attempt to review briefly some of the matters which were agitating
the world of economic theory in the last years of the disturbed and
unstable peace. Such is the purpose of the present paper, which is
designed to explain some of these issues to an audience mainly composed
of amateur rather than professional economists. | en |
