This vision forms the context in which a number of current issues are discussed: the globalisation of the economy, the future of state-provided welfare, and the control of inflation among them. Sir Samuel does not limit himself to critical analysis of the past and the future: he sets out an agenda for the future in which are combined idealism and realism, frequently invoking the spirit and thought of David Hume himself UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9780585159027 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9780585159027 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9780585159027/original ER -
