The Reith Lectures 1985

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Innocence and Design
The last of six talks about the influence of economic ideas on policy by David Henderson. Head of the Economics and Statistics Department in the Organisation for
Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)
6: Markets, States and Economics 'Those who are influenced by orthodox economic ideas have no pre-assigned place on the political spectrum - left, right or centre. Contrary to what is often supposed, my fictional orthodox colleague Mr MacQuedy , who favours market-oriented economic policies, is not a man of the right. He holds no firm party political allegiance, and in most, if not all, OECD countries he would have to be classed as a floating voter.'
(Re-broadcast on Sunday at 9.35 on R3) (The Reith Lectures are printed weekly in THE LISTENER)
