He applied public choice theory to state education and "he had a profound influence on both academic scholarship and education policy in Britain and abroad 〔Obituary, The Telegraph, 16 Oct 2001〕 The E.G. West Centre at Newcastle University is named in his honor. His book, Education and the State, published in 1965, continues to be highly influential. He researched how the state gradually became more and more involved in the education system of England and other countries. He examined the effect it had on the quality of education, concluding that its influence was ultimately negative. West was visiting professor at the University of California at Berkeley (1974), Emory University (1985-1988), the University of Western Australia (1995) and the University of Kentucky (1995).〔Obituary, The Telegraph, 16 Oct 2001〕 ==Selected books== *Adam Smith into the Twentieth Century.
