Absolutely.
Have a look at Robert and Edward Skidelsky's recent book , How Muvh is
Enough? to be reminded what a renaissance man Keyes was....
also Thatcher's former Policy Unit chief, Ferdinand Mount, Mind the Gap.
The New Class Divide......not riveting reading, but interesting because
of the author (if he thinks this, then.....!)
Ok, these range wider than monetary policy. But they show us what the
'monetarist society' has become.
At the risk of being sexist, Mervyn King seems to me to be the 'Old
Woman' of Threadneedle Street! ( ....the Bank's nickname
was....geddit.....?)
