This book focuses on events in the UK, but sets them in their international context, and makes frequent comparisons with other countries. Major recessions happened at a similar time in all major countries, and the lessons are general."--BOOK JACKET. "Three main conclusions are reached major recessions reflect abrupt fallings off in demand, not supply; these are due to identifiable demand shocks and by swings in consumer and business confidence which amplify the direct effects of demand shock; and major recessions are not predictable."--BOOK JACKET. "In the final chapter, Christopher Dow puts forward an insider's view on how to avoid future severe recessions."--Jacket
