Abstract

This chapter covers the period from 1932 to 1946, which marks a pivotal stage in Kahn’s intellectual life. During this time, Kahn developed an approach to economics and public intervention that would continue to influence his thinking in the following decades. The chapter focuses on Kahn’s early experiences at Cambridge, where he was an active member of the Faculty of Economics and Politics; his scientific contributions to welfare economics and imperfect market theory; his role in the early stages of the Keynesian revolution; and his experience as a temporary civil servant during the war, studying issues ranging from commodity price stabilisation to industrial policy, the advantages of nationalisation and economic planning.
