From the Back Cover
This challenging account of Britain's long-term economic performance examines why British economic growth has failed to keep pace with the performance of the other advanced industrial economies since 1870. It addresses both specifically economic questions - did the structure of the British economy undermine the nation's competitiveness? - and broader socio-historical questions - has British culture been hostile to business achievement? Did British education fail British industry? It combines a succinct, clearly-written survey of recent scholarly work with an original interpretive alternative to the cliometric and institutionalist accounts of Britain's relative decline.
