678R. J. M. Keynes to Harrod,
13 June 1937
[a]
Keynes apologises
for Marks's letter in The Times;
[1] "I thought you were much wiser to come in
independently into what is avowedly not a brand new subject".
- 1. Geoffrey
Marks wrote to The Times complaining that the Oxford economist who
signed the collective letter "Action against a Slump" (The Times,
9 June 1937, p. 17) "are not interested in the views of Cambridge
economist", otherwise they would have introduced some reference to
Keynes ("Action against a Slump", The Times, 11 June 1937). The
economists' letter was drafted by Meade, and commented upon by
Harrod in letter 669
to Meade of 18 May.
