Where Did We Go Wrong - From the Gold Standard to Europe (Hardcover)

Examining some economic landmarks of the last 70 years, Lord Roll seeks to identify errors of policy which can be linked to the deteriorating performance of the British economy in relation to other industrialized countries. He also examines the failure to assess early enough the significance of the movement for European integration and the consequential errors of policy which culminated in our belated entry to the ERM and our ejection from it in 1992. The author's "A History of Economic Thought", which has run to five editions, has been in print for over 50 years.
