  • Product Description

    An analysis of Britain's economic development since World War II within a broad framework of political, social and cultural as well as economic, factors. The author is critical of the work of a number of economists in the field as being either too general and mechanistic or limited to devising alternative methods of measuring symptoms and consequences of economic performance. The focus here is on the causes of Britain's economic decline when viewed in international terms. The thesis of "too few producers" and the alleged process of "deindustrialization" are critically examined. The impact of government policy is assessed and, in the external sector, this is set within the context of the UK's chosen international political role. The book concludes by stressing the complexity and deep-rootedness of the "British Disease".
