They concentrate on the debates and initiatives of the wartime period and subsequent implementation of policy under Attlee.The book modifies existing historiography in two ways - it shows that the Labour Party of 1945-51 was concerned mainly with industrial modernization, not with creating the Welfare State, and it tackles the consequently necessary re-evaluation of wider theories about Britain's economic decline.Industrial productivityGovernment policyGreat BritainHistory20th centuryIndustrial efficiencyGovernment policyGreat BritainHistory20th centuryElectronic books.Industrial productivityGovernment policyHistoryIndustrial efficiencyGovernment policyHistory338.0941338/.06941.082Tiratsoo Nick1952-538219Tomlinson Jim125464MiAaPQBOOK9910348239203321Industrial efficiency and state intervention2242587UNINA02903oam 2200661 450 991052465570332120161228114900.09780472120062(electronic book)0-472-12006-9(electronic book)9780472119202(hardback)10.3998/mpub.5626042(CKB)2550000001297217(EBL)4388355(SSID)ssj0001330174(PQKBManifestationID)11739850(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001330174(PQKBWorkID)11328740(PQKB)10702785(MiAaPQ)EBC4388355(OCoLC)880170320(MdBmJHUP)muse38024(MiU)10.3998/mpub.5626042(Au-PeEL)EBL4388355(CaPaEBR)ebr10870877(CaONFJC)MIL608351(OCoLC)880413319(EXLCZ)99255000000129721720140108d2014 ub 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierShipwrecked disaster and transformation in Homer, Shakespeare, Defoe, and the modern world /James V.
