In this episode, Liam talks to Professor Lord Robert Skidelsky, Biographer of John Maynard Keynes – the most influential economist of the 20th century.

In this wide-ranging interview, Skidelsky discusses how he helped David Owen to set up the SDP in the early 1980s, how economic policymaking works and how he developed from a historian into an economist.

“Britain’s history was forged outside Europe, not within Europe,” Lord Skidelsky remarks, reflecting on the UK’s vote to leave the EU, and why the efforts of Remain-voting MPs and peers to hold a second referendum in a bid to reverse Brexit were in his words “completely wrong”.

In the past, humans used machines, but did not live in a machine age. In other words, machines did not determine their conditions of life. These conditions barely changed over thousands of years. Today, we depend on machines for the way we work, the way we think, and the way we live. The machine age has come in a rush. It raises three questions. How and why has it come about? What has been its effect on the human condition? And what influence, if any, do we have on the further ‘march of the machines’? This lecture addresses these three questions.

Robert Skidelsky is emeritus professor of political economy at Warwick University. His numerous, award-winning books include Keynes: The Return of the Master (2010), a discussion of John Maynard Keynes and the urgent relevance of his ideas in

Robert Skidelsky, noted biographer of John Maynard Keynes and author (with his son Edward) of the recently published How Much is Enough, talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about materialism, growth, insatiability, and the good life. Skidelsky argues that we work too hard and too long. He argues that the good life has more leisure than we currently consume and that public policy should be structured to discourage work in wealthy countries where work can still be uninspiring. Skidelsky criticizes the discipline of economics and economists for contributing to an obsession with growth to the detriment of what he says are more meaningful and life-enhancing policy goals. https://www.econtalk.org/robert-skidelsky-on-money-the-good-life-and-how-much-is-enough/

2019 marks the 20th anniversary of the introduction of the Euro, replacing 11 national currencies. The two decades have been characterised by geographical extension to nowadays 19 countries, a modest increase in the Euro’s international role, but also by the build-up of unsustainable imbalances, and a long and deep

The main reason for studying the history of economic thought—says Robert Skidelsky in this ninth lecture in INET’s “How and How Not to Do Economics”—is to question the claim that economic knowledge is cumulative. Mainstream economics assumes that all useful economic knowledge from the past is incorporated in present theories. However, the substance and methods of economics have been interminably disputed ever since the start of the “science.”
