Kurzbeschreibung

This book is the third in the new series "The Labour Governments 1964-70" and concentrates on Britain's economic policy under Britain's Labour governments in the 1960s. It assesses the origins, development and outcomes of the attempts by Harold Wilson's Labour governments to modernize the British economy. This is the first comprehensive and archival-based work to offer a detailed study of this modernization project. The book places the project in the context of Labour's economic ideas as they had developed since the 1940s as well as the economic legacy they inherited from the previous thirteen years of Conservative rule. After outlining this context and providing a summary narrative of economic policy over this period, Labour's approach to the international economy is analyzed. The core of the book then goes on to look in detail at the policies directly concerned with modernization.
