The title of this book raises a provocative question that should
make all economists think. What is our raison d'etre ? Only a few
economists have specifically addressed the issue. Several of the
more challenging efforts are included here. Do economists have much
influence on government policy, particularly over, say, five or ten
years? Is that because they don't try hard enough or is it because
politicians care more about the next election than about the
opinion of economists? In this splendid collection, some published
as long ago as the 1930s, nine great economists consider these
questions. The editor's illuminating introduction sorts out the
area of agreement and disagreement between them.
