ABSTRACT
My working life has been divided almost equally between universities and government departments. I spent the 1930s studying and teaching; the next decade as a civil servant in various government departments and international agencies; most of the following decade in academic life as a professor at the University of Glasgow; and in the 1960s I was back in the British Treasury as Director of the Economic Section and Head of the Government Economic Service. I then went back to university-the University of Oxford.
