G.D.N. Worswick

G.D.N. Worswick (George David Norman Worswick or simply David Worswick) (1916–2001) was an Oxford economist specialising in understanding of the UK's economy from a Keynesian perspective.^[1][2]

Whilst mathematically well trained, like Alfred Marshall, he became dubious about the use of mathematics in economics arguing against those who tried to avoid the difficult parts of economic problems by resorting to solvable simple equations.^[1]
