Death of an incomes policy Russell Lewis It is hard to overestimate the significance of Sir Keith Joseph's speech last week in Preston, for it marked his total conversion to the monetarist approach to our economic affairs and his equally total disillusionment with incomes policy. Note rather that the prize incomes policy exhibit, post-war Holland, is rather an unhelpfulexample, since that country in 1945 was unique for the homogeneity of its people nd, following the German occupation, uniquely united in the desire to rebuild their war-torn and impoverished country. Howard Flight's warning that removing child benefit from higher rate taxpayers will discourage the middle classes from breeding echoes a famous speech by Sir Keith Joseph in 1974.

If only, he mused, we .had had an incomes policy before the terrible series of recent events. They have preferred the permissive society, and, at the same time, the collectivised society. Yet it is hard to believe that Sir Keith was not fortified, if not impelled, to his work of demolition by the House of Commons Expenditure Committee's last report, which wound up pronouncing incomes policy politically dead. Dr .1cbacht, Hitler's economic minister, once said that if he could have only one control over the economy it would be exchange control.
