'It would be difficult to think of a better book than this to place in ( the hands of the reader who thinks that economics is simply a malter of statistics,and who needs to be convinced of its intellectual interest and excitement'— Samuel Brittan in the Observer This exceptionally stimulating book begins by showing how the basic human need for a morality on which the conscience can work has led to the necessity for a philosophy of economics in any society. It is stressed that economic values and money values are not identical and it is the task of the economist to justify the image of Mammon to man, 'not to tell us what to do, but show why what we are doing anyway is in accord with proper principles The relations between science and ideology over the last two hundred years are traced from Adam Smith, through Marx and Keynes, to the dichotomy that exists in current economic thinking and the pressing fundamental problems which must now be faced.
