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 productivityIndustrial productivity.338.06Tiratsoo Nick538219Tomlinson JimNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910476804603321Industrial Efficiency and State Intervention3274091UNINA
