The Achievement of William Harold Hutt

by Rafe Champion

William Harold Hutt (1899-1988) spent most of his career out of the mainstream of economics in two ways. He lived in relative isolation in South Africa from the 1920s to the 1960s and he adhered to "classical" free trade principles  through the period from 1936 to the 1970s when the

profession was in the grip of the Keynesian revolution. He did not attend the initial meeting of the Mont Pelerin  Society but he joined immediately and remained an enthusiastic contributor to the proceedings of the Society,

even in the last years of his life when he was confined to a wheelchair.
