::''John Jewkes (1902 - 1988) is best known for his book Ordeal by Planning which he wrote in 1946 in an attempt to show that the wartime planning system, which many people wished to maintain and develop in the post-war world, would condemn the United Kingdom to poverty and failure. If Friedrich von Hayek in The Road to Serfdom provided a more celebrated philosophical treatise, it was Jewkes who produced a more down to earth and practically convincing case against central planning.'' http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=John_Jewkes.

I found a New York Times ad for the 1948 book, January 23, 1949. pg. BR19. (Check your local library, they may also have online access to the ProQuest Historical New York Times for cardholders). The ad says that the book is about lessons learned "after living for two years under the planned economy of the British Socialists." I.e. one could write an article entitled [[Ordeal by Planning]] and open it by saying

:I agree with your comment on Andy's page, Rob, that Jewkes seems to critique Keynesian economics. That has NOTHING TO DO WITH the question at hand, namely '''where did the phrase "New Ordeal" come from?'''[[User:Frederick|Frederick]] 11:24, 12 June 2007 (EDT)

:''Ordeal by Planning'' is a phrase coined by John Jewkes and the title of a book, referring to the period of socialistic economy in England from about 1946 to 1948.

But that's quite different from saying "The ''New Ordeal'' describes the period of time between 1929 and 1949, when the American economy finally recovered from the Crash of '29." [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 11:32, 12 June 2007 (EDT)
