HES: RE: QUERY--All pre-1936 economists were laissez faire advocates?

[David Andrews]

Commenting on the promotion of laissez faire by "popularisers and
vulgarisers" Keynes himself wrote (in _The End of Laissez Faire_) that "From
the time of John Stuart Mill, economists of authority have been in strong
reaction against all such ideas." He goes on to cite Cairnes and Marshall
and could have cited Pigou.
