[photo: Lionel Robbins] Lord Lionel Robbins:
A BSc (Econ.) student from 1920-23, Lionel Robbins (1898-1984) joined the LSE staff in 1925.
He was appointed to the Chair in Political Economy in 1929, resigning it in 1961 to accept the chairmanship of the Financial Times. He was made a life peer in 1959, and he was Chairman of the School Governors from 1968-73.
This year marks the 75th anniversary of Lionel Robbins's Essay on the Nature and Significance of Economic Science. The Department of Economics at LSE and the editors of Economica have decided to mark this anniversary by a conference and a special issue of the journal. The purpose of this conference is both to renew the considerations of Robbins's theme and reflect on the current nature and significance of economic science as well as examine Robbins's own position from a historical perspective.
Abstracts, Papers and Presentations now available.
The conference will take place at LSE on the 10 and 11 December 2007.
