Intervention and the Crisis

Richard Minns and Jennifer Thornley

Chapter 1 in State Shareholding, 1978, pp 15-37 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter will examine the crisis of the British economy since the mid-1960s. It will concentrate on three elements of the crisis which have influenced the emergence of local and regional shareholding: firstly, the restructuring of British industry, and the role the state has played in this; secondly, the ‘property boom’, and the role the state has played in this, too; and thirdly, the pressures by central government to reduce state expenditure. We will then go on to look at the spatial implications of these elements of the crisis; in other words, we will look at how far they have affected different parts of the country differentially.
