	Denis Healey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Denis Winston Healey, Baron Healey, PC (born 30 August 1917), is a British Labour politician, regarded by some (especially in the Labour Party) as "the best Prime Minister we never had".
		Healey was educated at Bradford Grammar School and Balliol College, Oxford where he was involved in Labour politics, joined the Communist Party and met future Conservative Prime Minister Edward Heath.
		The divide between the two is marked by Healey's decision, taken in conjunction with then-Prime Minister James Callaghan to seek an IMF loan and submit the British economy to the associated IMF supervision.

		Denis Healey became an MP in 1952 and served as a Cabinet minister in the Wilson and Callaghan governments.
		For Denis Healey, two of the key moments in the history of the Labour Party occurred in the last 10 years.

	Observer \| The great contender
		From the very beginning of his political life, Healey found it almost impossible to trim his sails and, in defence of what he knew (without the slightest doubt) to be right, he could never resist grinding his opponents into the dust.
		Healey, the scholar who might have devoted his life to a study of aesthetics and found a solace in times of stress in music, art and philosophy, simply abused the unilateralists.
		As Pearce makes clear, Healey was the happy warrior with an idyllic home life and intellectual interests so wide that they stimulated his wife into inventing the immortal phrase 'political hinterland', the other interests into which happy retreat was always possible.

		It is Denis the Menace himself, former Chancellor of the Exchequer, and more lately (as he boasted to me a year ago), a Knight of a German Order against Pomposity.
		Denis has slumped on the sofa, leaving an arm hanging inert, and his eyes have rolled to the back of his head.

		Denis wants to write a book about great people he has known, and though his wife has promised him she will not write another, she is already secretly working on a synopsis.
		Neither of the Healeys seems to be able to envisage life without the other, so they have decided that when they are required to join "the great library in the sky", they will go together.

		DENIS HEALEY: Well I think the most worrying thing about George Bush, the present one, is that he is now seen, throughout the Muslim World, as the Great Satan, and he described what he is doing as a crusade.
		DENIS HEALEY:...and the result is that you are getting now, growth of anti-Americanism, and anti British because we support the Americans, everywhere from - really from - Morocco to the Philippines.

		Healey's rise was largely down to his expertise and knowledge of foreign affairs, and never built up alliances or networks around himself.
		At least the public did not perceive a particular sense of panic, as Denis Healey's plans were buffetted by financial crises, sterling being repeatedly battered by the currency markets.
		Healey from this point on was to be Chancellor of deflation, barely surprising with inflation so high, but the Government persisted in spending #1000 millions on Chevraline for defence.

		Thirdly, Healey points to the Bretton Woods agreement as having reduced economic uncertainty through fixed currency parities and as having kept inflation low by imposing financial discipline.
		Healey predicts that the ‘80’s will be a particularly volatile decade unless some international action is taken to control the oil situation.
		Healey concludes that it would not only be unproductive, but impossible for every county to run a surplus on current account and make its currency strong is. Instead they should focus on the more practical goal of convergence of economic performances.

	Duncan Hallas: Clearer view of 1979 (1978)
		It is unlikely that even the Callaghan/Healey/Treasury gang will, in reality, go as far as accepting this scheme for the accelerated de-industrialisation of Britain (for that would be its inevitable consequence) but the fact that it can be seriously discussed at all indicates how far down the monetarist road they have travelled.
		“Mr Healey’s most outspoken speech in favour of monetarism was delivered at the traditional banquet for bankers and merchants at the Mansion House in the City” noted the Guardian.
		Otherwise, on monetarist assumptions, a marked rise in the inflation rate is inevitable from the middle of next year – and Healey now accepts the monetarist logic.

		IT’S some time since I thought of Denis Healey - it’s probably a long time since anyone thought of the pugnacious former chancellor, who deserves to be remembered at least for giving Mrs Thatcher a hard time whenever he could - but I did on Thursday morning.
		But mainly the concern must be about the accuracy of the original statistics from a sample of farms extrapolated to produce national figures such as "gross value added £1,043m" and estimates for "total consumption of fixed capital" and "total capital formation".
		Quite possibly, that is good accounting practice, but, apart from thinking about Denis, I remembered when I still worked for a living I saw farm accounting, for bank managerial and government advisory scrutiny purposes, as an extension of my attempts to write fiction.
