4. Lionel Robbins specifies the problem: Economics is the science which studies human behaviour as a relationship between given ends and scarce means which have alternative uses. (Robbins, An Essay on the Nature and Significance of Economic Science (London: Macmillan 1932), p16)

5. J M Keynes specifies the problem When I began to write my Treatise on Money I was still moving along the traditional lines…I had made some progress towards pushing monetary theory back to becoming a theory of output as a whole. But my lack of emancipation from preconceived ideas showed itself in what now seems to me to be the outstanding fault of the theoretical parts of that work, that I failed to deal thoroughly with the effects of changes in the level of output. (Keynes, The General Theory, 1936, vi-vii, emphasis added)
