"My job was to teach the whole corpus of economic theory, but there were two subjects in which I was especially interested, namely, the economics of mass unemployment and international economics"
- James Meade
About this Quote
James Meade was a British financial expert who had an interest in the economics of mass joblessness and worldwide economics. In this quote, he is describing his job as a professor of economics, where he was accountable for teaching the whole body of financial theory. Nevertheless, he was particularly thinking about 2 particular topics: the economics of mass unemployment and international economics. He was most likely drawn to these 2 topics due to the fact that of their relevance to the world at the time, as mass unemployment was a major concern in the 1930s and worldwide economics was ending up being significantly essential due to the rise of worldwide trade. Meade's interest in these two subjects likely led to his later deal with the theory of worldwide trade and the advancement of the well-being state. His work in these areas has actually had an enduring impact on the field of economics and has helped shape the way we think about economic policy today.
