Originally published in 1990, this book examines the extent to
which the ‘north-south divide’ in the UK has been a reality in
recent years. It also reveals the degree to which the gap between
the two parts of Britain has worsened. An issue of enduring
relevance, particularly given the political drive to ‘level up’
the regions, the book focusses particularly on the 1980s, a period
when regional assistance became a victim of both monetarism and
free market ideology. The book reviews legislation and considers
whether regional policy has been effective and consistent. To widen
the debate, the author questions some common assumptions about
regional imbalance, and argues that intraregional disparities and
the plight of Inner London were causes of concern no less serious
than the problem of the north-south imbalance.
