About this title

Synopsis

The theme of British economic decline is inescapable in contemporary debates about Britain's economic performance and sense of national identity. Understanding Decline is a serious contribution to an important argument, approached in a way that is accessible not only to specialist academics but to students of economics, history and politics. The volume includes case studies through which the reality of decline can be explored, while differing perceptions of decline are examined in a number of essays dealing with ideas and policy issues.

Review

"For those who study Britain and Europe, this book is a must read; for those who recognize the continued relevance of the idea of decline in other leading nations, it cannot be overlooked. Upper-division undergraduate and up." Choice

"...pushes into the undergrowth of long-running debates." David J. Jeremy, Business History Review
