• Resumen

  • This is an account of aspects of Richard Kahn’s life, activities and economic thinking, as told by him and assembled by Maria Cristina Marcuzzo, from extensive taped interviews with Kahn. The only form in which it has previously been published is as a 1988 Università di Modena discussion paper. In light of this inaccessibility, the Editors of the History of Economics Review welcomed the opportunity to make it readily available to interested intellectual communities, via publication in this journal. Topics covered by Kahn include his academic engagements (notably with J. M. Keynes), his service in government and international organisations, and his views on inflation, unemployment and the roles of monetary and fiscal policy.
