	Guardian Unlimited Politics \| Special Reports \| Obituary: Sir Donald MacDougall
		With his fellow Scot, the equally tenacious and determined Sir Alec Cairncross (obituary, October 24 1998), public dispute was rare, but we were all aware that if these two were to differ, lesser mortals were well advised to stand aside.
		Cairncross, by contrast, made his mark chiefly through the mainstream machine: these differences of style and title were perhaps more important than any difference in policy advice.
		My abiding memory of MacDougall, Cairncross and other holders of the top Treasury posts is of their unerring statistical insight - "there seems to be a slip in table 15 on page 49, my boy" - the sort of nose developed only by hard work.

		Alec's mother, born in 1878, was a determined and energetic woman who, notwithstanding her father's strong disapproval, was committed to becoming a doctor.
		Alec and Irene took charge of the two boys from the first marriage (David was later to become a tax inspector and Perry a detective inspector) and a third son - the only child of this happy, second marriage - Charles (in adulthood a BBC presenter) was born in 1960.

	2002 Cairncross Lecture by Ed Balls.
		This annual lecure is held in memory of Sir Alec Cairncross and is organised by St Peter's College Oxford and the CCBH, and is sponsored by the St. Peter's College Oxford Foundation.
		As Sir Alec will have experienced first hand, in the world of politics and policy, there is a spectrum which runs from today's headlines, this weekend's commentaries, through biography and memoir to historical record and analysis - a spectrum across which opinion and reportage becomes fact, truth and then record.
		Sir Alec Cairncross was a policymaker but also a contemporary historian of repute, a scholar determined that the observations we can draw from a proper understanding of history should be spelled out, learned and then applied.

		Alexander Kirkland Cairncross was born in Lanarkshire on February 11, 1911 and educated at Hamilton Academy, winning a scholarship to Glasgow University, where he specialized in economics.

	Living with the Century
		Before I start this review I should make it clear that Sir Alec Cairncross, who died just after this book, his memoirs, had gone to press, has played an important role in my academic career.
		His main impact was not on the intellectual development of economics but through its application, in particular through his influence on policy-making in Britain.
		In the book he emphasizes how the twentieth century has been the century of the economist and of economics, but also how much, as a result, economics has developed over that time, not just intellectually but also in terms of the number of practitioners and the extent of specialization.
