Description for Britain Europe & Emu
Paperback. This text shows how the transformation of Britain's economic performance is in contrast to Europe's which has suffered from rising unemployment and a lack of exploitation of the IT revolution. It is therefore argued that Europe's failures will undermine the EMU and Britain should keep out of it. Num Pages: 309 pages, 19 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: 1QFE; KCL. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 216 x 154 x 19. Weight in Grams: 478.
This book shows how the transformation of Britain's economic performance has been based on control of public expenditure, improving competitiveness, co-operative industrial relations and a large favourable contribution from inward investment. In contrast, Europe has suffered from rising unemployment, while misguided trade policies have obstructed the exploitation of the IT revolution. Europe's failures will undermine the EMU project. Britain will do well to keep clear. The book concludes with chapters on the modern relevance of Locke on inflation, Ricardo on public debt and Condillac on the creation of competitive market economies.
