The LSE had been founded in the late nineteenth century by Sidney and Beatrice Webb in a spirit of Fabian socialism, and in the thirties its director, Sir William Beveridge, continued that tradition. But in 1930s the School had also become the redoubt of a small group of economists radically antagonistic to the emerging on of social democratic interventionism that would come to be called Keynesian. This opposition was led by a triumvirate who lived cheek by jowl in Hampstead—Lionel Robbins, Friedrich von Hayek, and Arnold Plant.[1]
