The British Economy After Oil - Manufacturing or Services?

The British Economy After Oil (1988) examines the future paths for the British economy as North Sea oil runs out. It considers the argument that the future lies in the promotion and growth of services, as well as the counter-argument that the future lies with the development of a strong manufacturing base for the economy.
