这场经常激烈的辩论不可避免的结果是对政策革命的时间和性质产生了许多相互矛盾的说法。幸运的是，战争和战后时期公共记录的开放，以及有关就业政策的《约翰·梅纳德·凯恩斯文集》卷的出版，现在使得人们有可能对英国政府（实际上是主要财政部官员^）^何时以及出于何种目的采用凯恩斯主义需求管理技术的讨论进行一些整理。任何关于凯恩斯主义革命的讨论都必须考虑到另一个群体，即“凯恩斯主义者”。就本文而言，该术语将用于识别凯恩斯的追随者，他们在战时内阁秘书处办公室担任临时公务员，并在推动政策带来高而稳定的就业水平方面发挥了主导作用。〜当然，本文是由 SSRC 资助的关于第二次世界大战期间经济学家在英国政府中的作用的更广泛研究项目的副产品，我感谢 RJ MacLeod 博士允许引用他的论文。未发表的博士论文，请 JE Meade 教授允许引用其日记中的摘录，并请英国政治与经济科学图书馆引用休·道尔顿日记中的摘录。最后，我要感谢 GC Peden 博士的评论，并让我看到他将在本杂志上发表的关于理查德·霍普金斯爵士的平行著作。
The inevitable result of this often heated debate has been a multitude of conflicting accounts of the timing and nature of the policy revolution in particular. Fortunately, the opening of the Public Records for the war and post-war periods, and the publication of the volume of The Collected Writings of John Maynard Keynes dealing with employment policyY2 now make it possible to bring some order into the discussion of exactly when and to what purpose the British administration (in effect, leading Treasury official^)^ adopted Keynesian demand management techniques. Any discussion of the Keynesian revolution must also take account of another group,“the Keynesians”. For the purposes of this article, the term will be used to identify those followers of Keynes who were employed as temporary civil servants in the Offices of the War Cabinet Secretariat, and who played a leading role in pressing for policies to bring high, stable levels of empl~ yment.~ Of course, This paper is a by-product of a wider research project on the role of economists in British government during the Second World War, funded by the SSRC I am grateful to Dr RJ MacLeod for permission to cite his unpublished doctoral thesis, to Prof. JE Meade for permission to quote extracts from his diary, and to the British Library of Political and Economic Science to quote an extract from Hugh Dalton’s diary. Finally, I should like to thank Dr GC Peden for his comments and for allowing me to see his parallel work on Sir Richard Hopkins, to be published in this journal.
