Words from a speech by Brad DeLong... "In Keynes's view economics was not especially desirable or worthwhile or beautiful or good in itself. It was not Civilization. Civilization--the things that were worthwhile--were things like the novels of his friend Virginia Woolf, the paintings of his friend Duncan Grant, the dances of his wife the ballerina Lydia Lopokova. The things that were the good and the beautiful--Civilization--were the insights of artists, the achievements of artisans, and the pleasures of culture.

But economics was part of the underpinnings: political democracy and cultural advance do depend strongly on economic prosperity. Without economic prosperity, the truly good and beautiful things are not even possible.

And economists have a good deal of good advice to give as to how to attain economic prosperity.

So let me echo John Maynard Keynes and offer a toast, a toast to our company: 'To the economists. They are the guardians, not of Civilization, but of the possibility of Civilization.'"
