The Rise and Decline of the British Motor Industry by Roy A Church

The Rise and Decline of the British Motor Industry by Roy A Church

The decline of the British motor industry is one of the most spectacular developments in Britain's economic history. Conflicting explanations have been offered by scholars from different disciplines to produce a complex debate, which this 1995 study attempts to unravel. Placing the industry firmly in a European context, Roy Church re-examines the critical assessment of the achievements of the industry both before and after the onset of its decline in the 1960s, and goes on to test the various explanations which have been offered to account for this decline. He examines the role of government, of the trade unions, of management and of the multinationals, each of which has been seen as a major player in the demise of the British-owned industry. This concise and lucid review of the debate will be invaluable to students of modern British and European economic history.

"Church's book, like others in this series, is aimed primarily at students and secondarily at their teachers...anyone seeking an introduction to the British motor industry and a guide to further reading will find Church's book an excellent place to start." Robert Casey, Technology and Culture
