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. 606 $aIndustrial productivity$xGovernment policy$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aIndustrial efficiency$xGovernment policy$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aIndustrial productivity$xGovernment policy$xHistory 615 0$aIndustrial efficiency$xGovernment policy$xHistory 676 $a338.0941 676 $a338/.06 676 $a941.082 686 $aBUS069000$aPOL000000$2bisacsh 700 $aTiratsoo$b Nick$f1952-$0538219 701 $aTomlinson$b Jim$0125464 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910765820303321 996 $aIndustrial efficiency and state intervention$93653029 997 $aUNINA
