British industry isn't dead. Yet. ICI was Britain's biggest
manufacturer and exporter, while GEC was its biggest employer and
Morris Motors made over half of its cars; Courtaulds dominated
global cloth production and produced the first man-made fibres; BSA
was the world's biggest producer of motorbikes; De Havilland
produced groundbreaking aeroplanes and some of the world's first
jet engines. And yet, these companies have all collapsed, taking
with them nearly 200 years of industrial pre-eminence. British
industry is dead, killed off by 'Made in China' stickers and US
market dominance. Or is it? Will Britain Make It? explores the
rise, fall and future of British industry and all the complexities
surrounding it. Who's to blame for its slow decline? What about
Brexit? Can it be resurrected? If you've ever asked any of these
questions, then this is the book for you.
