Lord Roberthall was economic adviser to a succession of Labour and
Conservative governments from 1947 to 1961. During that time, he
served under eight Chancellors and exercised more influence on
economic policy than perhaps any other official. Fortunately -
though it was contrary to Civil Service rules - he kept a diary in
which he documented and reflected on day-to-day events. This first
volume, published in 1989, deals with the years between 1947 and
1953, in which Robert Hall acted as Director of the Economic
Section and was faced with a variety of lingering uncertainties.
This is a highly readable and fascinating account of what went on
inside government in the post-war years. The book provides a unique
picture of the relationship between Whitehall and Downing Street,
and those people who shaped this challenging period in British
economic history. Edited by Sir Alec Cairncross, who succeeded Lord
Roberthall as Economic Adviser to HM Government in 1961, this
reissue will interest any student researching policy and
decision-making in the post-war period.
