Via the @FT:
Alan Budd and @andrewtghill on Sir Samuel Brittan, the paper’s #Economics Editor whose columns were “must reads” for so many of us.
His writing style served as a model for how to describe complex economic developments and link them to policy alternatives.
May he RIP. p

He was very pleasant about it (it may have helped that I’d recently read his excellent book ‘Capitalism with a Human Face’) and the Westbury Road resident was very amused by the situation.
Was reminded of this on hearing the sad news that Samuel Brittan has died. /END

Never even heard Samuel Brittan speak at an event, or even been in his presence but I was seemingly always aware of his momentous intellectual presence in the field of economics.

I had a happy year as Sir Sam’s editor. Great thoughts and a willingness to debate, combined with total inability to operate email. Bizarrely this obit doesn’t mention his office slippers.

#SamuelBrittan “sought to persuade the open-minded reader that the right kind of market economy could be an instrument of human freedom and a way of satisfying human wants, rather than a hollow dogma to quiet businessmen’s consciences”.@FT https://t.co/9ftlXRHplt

So true. And not a few of us wrote…what he wrote, to give our stuff the appearance of a little more stature. #RIP #SamuelBrittan https://t.co/Ka0hLFjsiU

When I was growing up, Samuel Brittan was something of legendary monster – the man who gave intellectual force to the monetarist ideology. Many years later I actually met him at an IPPR event – where he was the one regretting the attitude of the Thatcher government…
