Macroeconomic policy in post-WWII Britain

I am extremely grateful to the Economic History Society for this bursary which provided funding for my studies in 2018-19.  My thesis papers are on the conduct and impact of UK monetary, credit and fiscal policy in the post-WWII era.  I have been asked to revised and resubmit the first paper to the American Economic Review.  The bursary financed some of my living expenses during the year and contributed to a two-month visit to the University of California at Berkeley.
