This article seeks to place the first two Economic Surveys which were produced under the Labour governments 1945-51, in the context of that government's aim to plan the economy. It shows immediate thinking behind the surveys, rather than the philosophy of planning which had developed in the 1930s and early 1940s. It considers in particular the role of James Meade, Director of the Economic Section at the time, in shaping the views of officials and ministers as to what the surveys and economic planning entailed. It then goes on to highlight some of the fears of those in government surrounding the surveys, and the problems they encountered producing them and effecting some sort of economic plan based upon them. Thus it explores the precedents which were established in the first 18 months of the Labour government that hampered its subsequent Economic Surveys and attempts at economic planning. |
