Publisher Synopsis
...this volume breaks new ground...exceptionally detailed account as to how economic policy developed between 1974 and 1976...a number of aspects of Wass's account are significant and surprising... Mark Wickham-Jones, Times Literary Supplement the definitive inside account of the crisis of the mid-1970s ... by no less an authority than Sir Douglas Wass, Permanent Secretary to the Treasury under Denis Healey's chancellorship. William Keegan, The Observer What distinguishes this book from many memoirs and diaries of the period, is its reliance on official documents rather than independently unverifiable comment...essential reading for poitical scientists, economists and economic historians...This lucid and scholarly account will also be a first port of call for future scholars of the period.
