Current Outlook and Future Prospects: Some Conclusions; IndexOriginally published in 1982, this book examines the problem and looks at the causes of the repeated crises which the country has undergone since the war. The basic cause is stated to be the failure to invest in the modernisation of the British capital equipment and the consequent loss of competitive power. This failure, in turn, is seen to be the result of Government policies which, for the sake of a variety of short-term aims, sacrificed the future by deliberately inhibiting investment.Routledge revivals.Great BritainEconomic policy1945-1964Great BritainEconomic policy1964-1979Great BritainEconomic policy1979-1997338.941Pollard Sidney120978MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910822840603321The wasting of the British economy3913542UNINA
