During the period from 1945 to 2005, Britain underwent two
deep-seated institutional transformations when political elites
successfully challenged the prevailing wisdom on how to govern the
economy. Attlee and Thatcher were able to effectively implement
most of their political platforms. During this period there were
also two opportunities to challenge existing institutional
arrangements. Heath's 'U-turn' in 1972 signalled his failure to
implement the radical agenda promised upon election in 1970, whilst
Tony Blair's New Labour similarly failed to instigate a major break
with the 'Thatcherite' settlement. Rather than simply retell the
story of British economic policymaking since World War II, this
book offers a theoretically informed version of events, which draws
upon the literatures on institutional path dependence, economic
constructivism and political economy to explain this puzzle. It
will be of great interest to both researchers and postgraduates
with an interest in British economic history and the fields of
political economy and economic crisis more widely.
