When Lord Harris of High Cross (Ralph Harris) died in October 2006,
at the age of 81, the tributes to him described him as one of the
'men who changed Britain'. Friends and opponents alike acknowledged
that Ralph, in his role as General Director of the Institute of
Economic Affairs (IEA) and in partnership with his friend, Arthur
Seldon, had been instrumental in providing the ideas and the
intellectual entrepreneurship that sparked the 'Thatcher
revolution' of the 1980s, transforming the British economy from one
of the worst performers among developed countries to one of the
best. This book selects from Ralph's considerable opus, revealing
that economics need not always be a 'dismal science'. Economic
analysis was, in the hands of Ralph Harris, deployed to great
effect in plain language and with a wit and wisdom that made it
fun. Colin Robinson's Introduction places Ralph Harris' work in
context and provides an invaluable insight into the author's
beliefs and personality. Ralph Harris in His Own Words will be
warmly welcomed and read by academics and researchers of economics,
politics and the history of ideas as well as those interested in
the work of the Institute of Economic Affairs.
