Graduating from Oxford with a first in ‘Modern Greats’ (politics, philosophy and economics) in 1927, Gaitskell (1906–1963) began teaching, first at Nottingham, then in the Department of Political Economy at University College, London. ‘In 1939 Gaitskell went to work for Hugh Dalton at the Ministry of Economic Warfare, never to return to his University College post or to academic economics. During the course of the war he served in a number of increasingly senior positions in the Civil Service … Gaitskell was elected as the Labour member for South Leeds in 1945, and after a short time in Parliament he was appointed (in 1950) Chancellor of the Exchequer’ (The New Palgrave).
