Abstract

Early versions of ideas distilled here took shape in the Marshall Library of Economics. The ‘Marshall’ has, for over 40 years, been housed in the architecturally dubious but intellectually salubrious Austin Robinson Building, with offshooting corridors that run past rooms named after John Maynard Keynes and James Meade. Over the years, the Marshall’s book and journal stock has been constantly replaced and updated, so that few of the tomes that informed Economics Triposes of the past now remain on display. Vast amounts of new writing (and some new thinking) have occurred in economics since the library’s inauguration, and the edited highlights have trickled remorselessly onto its shelves. Yet while the contents continually change, they have never expanded. The stacks remain far enough apart for natural light to bathe the reading desks, and retain enough empty space to persuade next year’s intake that there is still something more to be said.
