Description
Will Britain Make It? The Rise, Fall and Future of British Industry explores how some of Britain's leading companies failed, against the backdrop of a declining national economy. From ICI to GEC, Courtaulds to BSA, these iconic firms dominated their industries for decades.
Their collapse, which began in the 1960s and continued through to the 1990s, marked the end of nearly two centuries of British industrial pre-eminence. This book examines the reasons behind this decline, shedding new light on Britain's wider industrial legacy.
