This volume studies the decline of a staple industry at a time of
worldwide upheaval caused by war and economic slump. In 1913
British coalmining was at the height of its achievement and
prosperity; by 1946 it was an ominous symbol of twentieth-century
Britain's inability to adapt to technological and economic change
and its social consequences. Written in the light of industrial and
government records, this study gives full weight to the political
aspects of economic decision-making and economic change. It
demonstrates the extent to which the problems of the coal industry
were, and still are, deeply rooted in its social, political, and
economic history. It is also a classic case study of inflexibility
in British industry.
