Description: |
During the 1980s Britain became one of the world's most market-oriented economies, an approach which resulted in three severe recessions and a deepening degree of inequality. This book argues that a rebalancing of the economy will remain elusive until proactive policies are implemented at the corporate and industrial level. |
Synopsis: |
In this book, Driver and Temple examine how the simple faith of economists and policymakers in free-markets and financialisation masqueraded as an economic theory justifying the neglect of investment in capital, skills and technology. The authors survey the damage caused to the macroeconomic climate from the market-era reliance on labour market flexibility and low inflation, and conclude that radical reforms are needed both at the level of the company, through changes in corporate governance, and at the level of industry, by giving institutional form to a system of social partnership for a fair and high performance economy. |
