Beskrivning
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.

Recensioner i media

'A fascinating account of the life and work of Jan Tinbergen, who shared the first Nobel Prize in Economics in 1969 for his work on economic planning and business cycle dynamics. His life work shaped and continues to shape the way economics and theory-guided economic policy is done. The author presents an engaging intellectual history that places the evolution of his technical work and policy analyses in a network of ideas and thinkers who addressed the biggest social questions of their day in order to improve human welfare. It exposits the intellectual and moral contributions of a pioneer of modern economics.' James J. Heckman, University of Chicago and Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, 2000
