Jan Tinbergen was the first Nobel Prize winner in Economics and one
of the most influential economists of the 20th century. This book
argues that his crucial contribution is the theory of economic
policy and the legitimation of economic expertise in service of the
state. It traces his youthful socialist ideals which found
political direction in the Plan-socialist movement of the 1930s for
which he developed new economic models to combat the Great
Depression. After World War II he was able to synthesize that work
into a theory of economic policy which not only provided a lasting
framework for economic policy around the world, but also secured a
permanent place for economic experts close to government. The book
then turns to an examination of his attempt to repeat this
achievement in the development projects in the Global South and at
the international level for the United Nations.
