Told by noneconomic students of social policy and by fellow economists in the 1960s that icsource allocation in the social services was not a proper economic
subject, I risked an economist’s career devoted to the contrary view and rapidly earned the enmity of the left for No. 1 in the above lists of books and articles and that of the right for No. 4 in the book list. Having thus established my impeccable credentials for impartiality in a politically treacherous terrain, the main thrust of my work has been in trying to provide suitable conceptual material, case studies and general propaganda to enhance effectiveness, efficiency and fairness at all levels of responsibility for the finance and organisation of the welfare state, especially health services and health-related activities, both public and private.
The search for a satisfactory rationale for that extraordinary institutional feature of the twentieth century, the welfare state, has been a connecting thread throughout. This main stream has had tributaries, mostly concerning other aspects of applying welfare economics to phenomena, puzzles and problems both as economists and as real decision makers see them.
