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 centuryjointproductioncommitteesbritishindustrydevelopmentcouncilsproductivitydriveconsultationIndustrial productivityGovernment policyHistoryIndustrial efficiencyGovernment policyHistory338.0941338/.06941.082Tiratsoo Nick1952-538219Tomlinson Jim125464MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910765820303321Industrial efficiency and state intervention3653029UNINA
