Abstract
To conclude the seminar it is my pleasure to thank formally the three main speakers of the seminar and all of you for coming to participate and making the occasion a great success. It is said in Oxford that there are three types of conversation — monologue, dialogue and Balogh. Those of us who are not from Oxford now know better what is meant! While Keynes was alive he was undoubtedly a great inspiration to the world especially in his belief that with clear and careful thought and appropriate action the world could be made a better place. He was certainly a great inspiration to economists, and two of the people that he most inspired, and who have carried on the Keynesian tradition, are here as our guests today. I refer to Professor Joan Robinson and Professor Lord Kahn, who we are very happy to have here with us. I am sure Keynes will continue to be a great inspiration to economists in the future. We hope that some of the importance and greatness of Keynes has rubbed off on you this afternoon and that when you leave the seminar you will be a little bit better informed about the contribution that Keynes made to the functioning of the modern world economy than when you came in. I thank you all for coming, and I must also thank Macmillan for once again agreeing to publish the proceedings of the Seminar.
