The influence of Edward Hallett Carr on contemporary political thought, especially in Anglo-Saxon countries, is great enough to warrant a critical appraisal of his writings. Since Carr is not the ivory-tower social philosopher, but very often descends into the arenas of journalism and radio, reaching a very wide audience, his views contribute to some extent to the moulding of British public opinion. During several debates in the British House of Commons his views were adduced as authoritative in support of post-war planning.
