| Abstract: | During the last century, Britain's ranking among the leading economic powers has declined steadily, with indigenous manufacturing capacity declining particularly rapidly in the 1980s. This paper argues that the root causes have been in place for much longer, making that decline both predictable and inevitable. The author draws on the work of those who argue that Britain has always had a greater concern for wealth preservation than for wealth creation. |
