A comprehensive assessment of how economic policy is made in Britain at the start of the 21st century and of how the content of taxation, spending, monetary and regulatory policy has evolved since 1945. All of this is set in the context of the impact of globalization and the European Union on the autonomy of domestic policy and an assessment of the debates about British economic performance and British decline.

'...[A] succinct, yet informed and wide-ranging, account of key aspects of past and present economic policy in Britain...Grant provides a clear accessible synthesis of the key debates...It should be a set-text for 2nd/3rd year and postgraduate modules, not just in Political Science but in Economics as well.' - David Richards, Parliamentary Affairs
