Deindustrialisation is the central feature of Scotland's economic,
social and political history since the 1950s, when employment
levels peaked in the established sectors of coal, shipbuilding,
metals and textiles, along with the railways and docks. This book
moves analysis beyond outmoded tropes of economic decline and
industrial catastrophe, and instead examines the political economy
of deindustrialisation with a sharp eye on cultural and social
dimensions that were not uniformly negative, as often assumed.
Viewing the long-term process of deindustrialisation through a
moral economy framework, the book carefully reconstructs the impact
of economic change on social class, gender relations and political
allegiances, including a reawakened sense of Scottish national
identity. In doing so, it reveals deindustrialisation as a more
complex process than the customary body count of closures and job
losses suggests, and demonstrates that socioeconomic change did not
just happen, but was influenced by political agency.
