This is a re-read of the book; thought it might give me some insights on Britain's entry into the Common Market.Sort of helpful as it's about the Wilson years in government-the UK economy has really changed since then but the issues are the same--balance of trade, low wages, immigration,however it was full employment in 1960s, quite a bit different from now & no mention of a 'welfare culture' - eg living on benefits.
