The theme of British economic decline is inescapable in
contemporary debates about Britain's economic performance and sense
of national identity. Understanding Decline is a serious
contribution to an important argument, approached in a way that is
accessible not only to the specialist academic market but to
students of economics, history and politics. Barry Supple, to whom
the volume is dedicated, when Professor of Economic History at
Cambridge was concerned with various aspects of this historical
problem. Indeed, his 1993 Presidential Address to the Economic
History Society, 'Fear of failing', already a classic, is reprinted
here as a highly effective keynote essay. Other essays pick up this
theme in diverse but essentially unified ways, seeking to assess
British economic performance in different ways over the past two
centuries. They include case-studies through which the reality of
decline can be explored, while differing perceptions of decline are
examined in a number of essays dealing with ideas and policy
issues.
