Focusing on the restructuring of British industry and trading policy, the author discusses the causes and effects of deindustrialization and changes to traditional trading patterns. Particular attention is devoted to the impact of the EU. The work provides: * A new perspective by focusing on industry and trade rather than monetary issues; * A good comparative study of Britain's trading partners and rivals; * An accessible and relatively jargon-free discussion of a topical and far-reaching subject. 606 $aIndustrial policy$zGreat Britain 607 $aGreat Britain$xCommercial policy 607 $aGreat Britain$xEconomic conditions$y20th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xForeign economic relations$zEuropean Union countries 607 $aEuropean Union countries$xForeign economic relations$zGreat Britain 615 0$aIndustrial policy 676 $a330.941/085 700 $aBriscoe$b Lynden.$0899427 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910669675603321 996 $aBritain's trade and economic structure$92009483 997 $aUNINA
