Industrial Policy in Europe [EPUB ebook] 
Theoretical Perspectives and Practical Proposals

After a decade or more of privatisation and deregulation there is a growing consensus that government can have a positive role in promoting industrial development. This book explores a variety of ways in which this might be made to happen. A common theme is the need for participation at the appropriate level: too often industrial policy has been hampered by overcentralised decision-making. Containing contributions by some of Europe»s leading industrial economists, Industrial Policy for Europe covers subjects from small business to macroeconomics.
