Description
The text discusses how quotas have been used in the past to help protect British industries from foreign competition. It also looks at how quotas have affected the economy as a whole, and the consequences of their use.
This text examines the establishment and effectiveness of import controls, particularly quotas. Placing quotas back in the centre of British history, Milward and Brennan make some radical claims for Britain's economic performance in a global context. Looking into a wide variety of industries from motorcars to typewriters, raw chemicals to food produce, they examine the intended and actual obstruction to imported goods represented by quotas, and the political and financial ramifications beyond the statistics.
