Nobel Prize winning economist John Hicks writes: 
 
"The shift in attention, in the work of Keynes, is well known; from 
the _Treatise_ of 1930, which in essence was a theory of prices, or price- 
levels, to the _General Theory_ of 1936, which was a theory of employment. 
It is not well known that it is matched by a movement from Hayek to 
Harrod.  I once asked Harrod what had put him on to the construction of 
his so-called 'dynamic' theory; he said, to my surprise, that it was 
thinking about Hayek."  (John Hicks, "Are There Economic Cycles?", In 
_Money, Interest and Wages_, pp. 340-341.  Cambridge:  Harvard U. Press) 
 
Can anyone supply me the context for Hicks' remarks on Harrod and Hayek?
