Product Information
In painting this portrait of contemporary Britain, Sir John Harvey-Jones bases his observations on his personal experience in various walks of life, and on his knowledge of history. He returns to his childhood home, India, to examine the legacy of colonialism and the economic relationship which has evolved with Britain. He analyzes the British education system and finds an emphasis on academic rather than practical skills, which he feels has contributed to the economic decline of a once-great nation. He draws on his naval experiences to investigate the modern armed forces and their role in society following the end of the Cold War. And finally he looks at industry as a whole, and asks questions about the economic future and Britain's place in the new world order.Product Identifiers
