Chapter I. The Home Economy

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  26 March 2020

Extract

Most of the indicators of the British economy published in the past few months have pointed to faster growth of output and demand. 1987, it now appears, may show the largest increase in GDP since the early 1970s. This acceleration is remarkable, considering that the recovery from the 1979–81 recession is now in its sixth year. The course of output since 1979 is the subject of chapter III of this Review.
