Rivalry between academic opinion at LSE and Cambridge goes back to the School's roots when LSE's Edwin Cannan ( 1861 – 1935 ), Professor of Economics, and Cambridge's Professor of Political Economy, Alfred Marshall ( 1842 – 1924 ), the leading economist of the day, argued about the bedrock matter of economics and whether the subject should be considered as an organic whole.

Using a sample of all listing events onto U. S. and U. K. exchanges from 1995 – 2006, they find that the listing preferences of large foreign firms choosing between U. S. exchanges and the LSE's Main Market did not change following SOX.

With the help of Mises, in the late 1920s Hayek founded and served as director of the Austrian Institute for Business Cycle Research, before joining the faculty of the London School of Economics ( LSE ) in 1931 at the behest of Lionel Robbins.

In 1932, Hayek suggested that private investment in the public markets was a better road to wealth and economic coordination in Britain than government spending programs, as argued in a letter he co-signed with Lionel Robbins and others in an exchange of letters with John Maynard Keynes in The Times.

Lionel Robbins, former head of the economics department at the London School of Economics, who had many heated debates with Keynes in the 1930s, had this to say after observing Keynes in early negotiations with the Americans while drawing up plans for Bretton Woods:

Robbins and Hayek's views were based on the Austrian School of Economics with its emphasis on free trade and anti-interventionism, while Keynes advanced a brand of economic theory now known as Keynesianism which advocates active policy responses by the public sector.
