It consists of a single previously unpublished work, the diary of Meade’s life in the Economic Section of the Cabinet Office which he kept for nearly two years. This covers the time where he was appointed to succeed Lionel Robbins as Director of the Section at the end of the Second World War until September 1946. This period encompasses the last few months of the war in Europe and the first year of peace and of a majority Labour government under Prime Minister Clement Attlee.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →First published by Unwin Hyman 1988-1990. James Meade wrote and published on theoretical and applied problems in most fields of economics. He was always as concerned with problems of economics policy as with purely theoretical issues, and was one of the early British economists to serve in government. Volume I: (0415-35050-6) Contains his most important work on theoretical and applied aspects of employment and inflation from 1933-1985. Contributions range from pre-war papers on Keynesian economics to his proposals for tackling 'stagflation' in the 1970s and 1980s. Volume II: (0415-35051-4) Draws together Meade's work on Price Theory and Policy; Distribution; and Growth and Development. Volume III: (0415-35052-2) Covers papers on international economics, the field in which Meade received his Nobel Prize in 1977. This includes his important 1942 proposal for a post-war 'Commercial Union', which led ultimately to the Agreement on Tariffs and Trade in 1947, along with essays on the improvement of the world economic order from the 1930s to 1990. Volume IV: (0415-35053-0) Reprints the diary of Meade's involvement in the Economic Section of the Cabinet Office from November 1944 to October 1946. This work gives a fascinating and accessible insight into the workings of government during this crucial period in British economic history.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →An epic history of the people and institutions that have built the global economy since the Great Depression. In this vivid landmark history, the distinguished economic historian Martin Daunton pulls back the curtain on the institutions and individuals who have created and managed the global economy over the last ninety years, revealing how and why one economic order breaks down and another is built. During the Great Depression, trade and currency warfare led to the rise of economic nationalism—a retreat from globalization that culminated in war. From the Second World War came a new, liberal economic order. Squarely reflecting the interests of the West in the Cold War, liberalism faced collapse in the 1970s and was succeeded by neoliberalism, financialization, and hyper-globalization. Now, as leading nations are tackling the fallout from COVID-19 and threats of inflation, food insecurity, and climate change, Daunton calls for a return to a more just and equitable form of globalization. Western imperial powers have overwhelmingly determined the structures of world economic government, often advancing their own self-interests and leading to ruinous resource extraction, debt, poverty, and political and social instability in the Global South. He argues that while our current economic system is built upon the politics of and between the world’s biggest economies, a future of global recovery—and the reduction of economic inequality—requires the development of multilateral institutions. Dramatic and revelatory, The Economic Government of the World offers a powerful analysis of the origins of our current global crises and a path toward a fairer international order.
