| Abstract: | Keynes wrote in 1936 that 'Practical men, who behove themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influences, are usualy the slaves of some defunct economist'. John Hibbs, still happily far from being defunct, assesses the extent to which ideas can shape public policy if their advocates are prepared to withstand the opposition of vested inteiests who stand to lose from change. |
