Tim Congdon Biography

Professor Tim Congdon CBE is a British monetary economist known for his analysis of inflation, banking, and economic policy. Congdon began his career as a journalist at The Times before moving into the City of London as an economist. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, he became influential in defending the principles of Thatcherite monetarism, arguing that control of the money supply was essential to reducing inflation and stabilizing the British economy. Over several decades, Congdon has consistently advocated for the Quantity Theory of Money, also known as monetarism, in the United Kingdom's public policy debates.

Congdon founded Lombard Street Research, a macroeconomic consultancy recognized for its economic analysis, after warning that excessive money growth during the Lawson Chancellorship would lead to double-digit inflation. He served on the UK Treasury Panel of Independent Forecasters, known as the Wise Men, advising the government on economic policy and the outlook for the British economy. During his tenure on the Treasury Panel, Congdon emphasized the importance of monetary variables in determining macroeconomic outcomes and highlighted differences between his forecasting approach and that of other panel members. He was appointed CBE for services to economic debate.

As an author and commentator, Congdon has written extensively on monetary theory and policy. His books include "Money and Asset Prices in Boom and Bust," "Central Banking in a Free Society," "Keynes, the Keynesians and Monetarism," "Money in a Free Society," and "Money and Inflation at the Time of Covid." His writings in newspapers, for parliamentary committees, and in academic journals contributed to the transformation of British macroeconomic policy in the 1980s and 1990s. His book "The Quantity Theory of Money: A New Restatement" applies classical monetary theory to contemporary challenges, including post-pandemic inflation.

Congdon is the founder and chairman of the Institute of International Monetary Research at the University of Buckingham, which studies the relationship between money and national income. The institute explores the connections between money, banking, and the economy, and promotes analysis of these public policy issues. He has served as economic correspondent for Standpoint magazine and has held visiting professorships at Cardiff Business School and City University Business School. With a career spanning journalism, City economics, government advisory roles, and academia, Congdon is recognized for his contributions to British economic thought and monetary policy analysis.
