More about the book

Focusing on the paradox of economic recession despite North Sea oil and gas production, the book delves into the British economy during the early 1980s, a time marked by rising oil output yet increasing unemployment. It contrasts British government policies with those of other countries like Norway and Australia, providing a broader context for understanding energy policy and its long-term implications. The examination highlights the complexities of resource management and its effects on national economies.
