A Hard Pounding Politics and Economic Crisis, 1974-1976

This book offers a penetrating insider account of the policy issues involved in managing Britain's economy from 1974 to the crisis of 1976. Throughout these years the author served as Deputy to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and then Secretary of State. The book contains entirely new primary material--much of it based on the diaries Dell kept at the time--and covers years which were pivotal in post-war history in general, and for Labor in particular.
