Opis

This reissue (1983) examines the poor performance of British manufacturing. Rather than invoke orthodox economics or social factors, the book analyses four national conditions – enterprise control over the labour process; market structure / composition of demand; the relation of manufacturing to banks; the relation of manufacturing to government.
