I should have preferred to become a biologist but that would have taken too much time. So I went to Business School ( to-day called Economic University ) in Vienna. I was interested in the economics taught by Strigl^a pupil of BShm-Bawerk who showed me how the discussion of economic policies depended on an understanding of how the economy worked. He was a liberal and I accepted his views, preferring them to the anti-rationalist, romantic-nationalistic trends which were then prominent in the university. I hated that and I hated the various fascist movements of the time, mainly for their militarism. I felt no particular social enga igement, my upbringing had been a-political and I had no links to left wing movements. But I could not fail to be impressed by the surrounding unemployment and misery, the more since it affected also my own position. The concern with unemployment has remained with mezvery important. I became soon disaffected with the Austrian school and came under the influence of Keynes. After the German occupation I lost my job on account of my hostility to the regime, and I had no chance of prjusuing a carreer as an economist . By great luck and with the help of the emigre-economists(Mises, Hayek, Haberler ) I got a stipend as a research lecturer at Balliol College. I soon came to the Oxford Institute of Statistics where I was near to Kalecki, whose teaching has dominated me ever since. As an economist I am the product of England and Kalecki.
