In universities across the country this week, Lionel Robbins' definition will be rolled out for the start of introductory economics courses. Joan Robinson's observation about its timing will probably receive less attention. www.jstor.org/stable/18215...
In 1932, Professor (now Lord) Robbins
published the famous essay in which he
describes economics as the subject that
deals with the allocation of scarce means
between alternative uses. No doubt this
was the expression of a long tradition but
the date of publication was unlucky. By
the time the book came out there were
three million workers unemployed in
Great Britain and the statistical measure
of GNP in U.S.A. had recently fallen to
half its former level. It was just a coincidence that the book appeared when means for any end at all had rarely been
less scarce.

One of Russia's most dynamic and beloved small non-fiction publishers has announced it's closing down after several years of pressure on its founders and employees. Yet there is no better snapshot of the zeitgeist than its most recent releases. Saving it here for posterity.
