I was probably the first economist to start analysing how economists work in the real world.

 “The advice in this book is distilled from half a lifetime’s mistakes. I have wasted years on pointless economic studies, and have worked on minor problems when major problems needed urgent attention. The problems I did tackle were tackled awkwardly and ineffectively. Years were spent on studies which had no effect because I did not manage to communicate my results to the decision makers and persuade them to act. I have produced third‑rate work when I could have produced competent work with the same effort. I have no doubt that I would have achieved two or three times as much if I had read a book like this when I was twenty‑one.”
