First of two talks by John Buckatzsch
The change in economic method from classical economics which is really a ' branch of philosophy ' to the study of national income and actual situations gives a hope that economics may become useful as an applied science. This was the question to which John Buckatzsch was devoting his attention during the last year of his life. These talks were recorded shortly before his death last August.
