Government Policy and Industrial Change (Routledge Library Editions: Economics and Society)

Government Policy and Industrial Change (1989) seeks to take stock of the recent changes in policy issues in the UK and USA – de-industrialisation, internationalisation, technological change – and investigates in particular four areas at the cutting edge of policy change. It looks at the impact of new technology, the role of small firms, the service sector, and the increase in private-sector-led initiatives at the local level.
