Produktinformationen zu „Decline to Fall “
This book gives a thorough and authoritative account of a crucially important episode in the post-War history of the UK, using the privileged position of someone who was at the heart of events and decision-taking. It traces the antecedents of the crisis and takes the reader through the complex process of economic and political analysis and shows how that analysis came to play such an important part in the negotiations which led to the IMF loan. It looks at both the technical and political aspects of the crisis and in its concluding section it examines whether the political and administrative apparatus was equal to the tasks it had to tackle.
Klappentext zu „Decline to Fall “
This book provides the first comprehensive and authoritative account of the events leading up to the UK seeking a massive loan from the IMF in 1976 which almost precipitated a financial crisis on a par with those of the 1930's and early post war period. Sir Douglas Wass, who was permanent Secretary to the Treasury at the time, provides a unique first hand account of the events that took place as the crisis unfolded and the decision-making process. Bringingunrivalled experience and knowledge of Whitehall to the narrative, he draws on recently released documents such as official Treasury minutes, memoranda, official statements and reports, IMF documents and blends them with his own assessment of this key period of policy making to provide a fascinating,
blow-by-blow account of how the Treasury reacted when faced with a series of inter-locking crises. Decline to Fall will be a must read for anyone interested in the formulation of policy and the workings of government.
